How many people would you say you know, personally, that own a set of Mag Blue TE 37's???? I think enough has been said.
Dood, was that your Accord in my complex that got its stock rims stolen?

Rare indeed. Those CX's are really hard to come by. Keep them for as long as you can and if you do decide to sell them, make sure the next owner will take care of them.

im soooo confused right now,...i counted 7 or 8 different sets on the first page of that thread. what is it you think is rare? the color or s2000 fitment???? either way mag blue is not rare.....
i just posted a lot to that thread so enjoy.
I'm not sure what you're counting. There are exactly four mag blue TE37s mounted on S2Ks in that entire thread... and those are the only four I've ever seen on this site, in person or anywhere else. And yes, I'm talking about wheels that are actually mounted on S2000s, not other cars (maybe that's why we're confusing each other).

Before today, there were only three in that entire thread. And I think JDM Jay's (who just posted his) aren't even original mag blues. I remember seeing he had them color matched and powder coated... although I could be wrong.

Either way, I consider mag blue Volks rare for S2000s. I still consider them rare, to an extent, overall. Like I said, rare is a loosely defined word, and maybe we just have different definitions of it.

Obviously, I agree... knew you'd have an opinion on this thread .

17inch OZ Fittipaldi
Not the rarest wheel but mine are rare. Only set in the country known to be 114.3.

I would post better pics but they are out being refinished now.

Ughh people are not understanding the concept of this thread. If you can buy the rim new right now and it is readily available (ie. not in a limited quantity) it IS NOT RARE.

Mag Blue TE's ARE NOT RARE. As said before in this thread, just because "almost no one on the forums has these wheels" DOES NOT MAKE THEM RARE. There are many examples of this, for example if someone used a mazdaspeed wheel on an S2000 they may be the only one on the forums but the wheel is NOT RARE

The fittipaldi posted above is rare (I searched and could not find any 5x114 fittipaldi fittistarts)
The Blitz 01 CX are rare
The comptech amd racing harts are rare.

fail my ass, they look JUST like c6 zo6 wheels...



in fact, the ones pictured on the NSX look like the spokes curve outwards a little, and the chrome ones from the previous post look straight as a board.
Yeah, mine kind of look like that...although that looks more like the replacement Advan Model T5 where the spokes are slightly farther apart. Mine aren't completely flat, there is some concave to them:
