Magnus Walker Wheels, they look pretty cool Options

[Mike Bellis]

This is the new Magnus Walker wheel launched yesterday. They are Fuchs style built by Fifteen52. Their website does not have pricing for these but other wheels from the company start at $999 each. I don't think I will be buying these any time soon but the look cool.

Has Magnus ever said he was the first to do any of the mods he's done to his cars? I don't remember him saying anything like that. I guess I missed something and should look at his video's again.

again, i don't want to beat up on poor magnus, who by all accounts, including my limited meeting him, is a nice guy, and i haven't heard magnus claim he was the first to do his mods, although many "magnus-heads" seem to believe that - at the same time, from what i can find, i've never seen him give credit to anyone else for his inspiration, rather he is an excellent self-promoter (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

to contrast, rob dickinson of singer fame (maybe you've seen his cars tested on top gear,) whom i've met many times at events in his old 911 cafe racer, always goes out of his way to humbly credits others who came first or simultaneously for his inspiration (and he's an ex-pat brit as well) - check out this article and video:

i've also known gary and rod emory for years, and they have are always crediting their family inspirations for their work, as well as being exceptionally helpful to answer questions, provide parts, have events at their farm, etc

i guess it's a personal preference for a personal style, and in the great scheme of things, it's all pretty meaningless, but as magnus aggressively markets himself on the relevant forums and media, for only his own gains, i believe this has made him more and more a polarizing figure in the porsche world - for me, it's gotten old, contrived, and has motivated a habitual online bystander like me to comment . . .
