    Default What exactly is a Black Magic?

    I have searched around, but haven't found much....could someone explain to me exactly what a black magic capri is and what makes it special? I've had 4 eye mustangs for years, and am interested in getting a capri, just trying to find out about them and decide what to try and get....
    Thanks!!

    It is a trim option offered on the Mercury Capri, this will help you out.

    thanks Tim!!
    So, if you find an intact original one, can you still get tires for those wheels?

    You can buy them new but they are about $3-400 each! They can be found slightly used at fairly reasonable prices if you look around a lot. Some BMW cars also used them so they show up on ebay from time to time. You just have to be careful in checking for cracks or dryrot in any used tires.

    Another solution is to take your TRX wheels to a wheel shop that can take the centers out and put them in an english size wheel.

    One guy had a car with them but a previous owner had them done so I know it's possible.

    I contacted a wheel shop and they said they probbaly couldn't do it unless they were steel wheels since welding alloy wheels is a problem. Are TRX alloy?

    I stopped looking after that.
