Default All of your Magnesium wheels look terrific.

Although I've been careful and lucky all of my life by not scoring any curb rash on any of my wheels I can see where the little raised edge on the extreme lip of most wheels can provide an easier touch up option as opposed to the wide smooth graduating curvature of the N73 wheel edge.

When the N73s catch what might be considered even a bit or slight amount of curb rash... they look like crap. Ya gotta be careful when parking with these babies!

I'm attempting to locate a decent set of N73s now for my '99 Hardtop. The pristine speedlines I have on there now just don't do it for me. I'm located in Palm City, Florida. If anyone has any information leading to the acquisition of a decent set of N73s that haven't been tracked I would appreciate it. Send me an email at bobaruba@***.net or a PM.

They are an option on the 2002 vert I purchased a month ago. I was pleased that they were a high dollar option !
