Yep...Enkei 'mags' were an aluminum alloy (not sure of the exact composition, though).

Yeah, mag rims is a misnomer. Nobody would ever run mags on the street, too brittle.

If they were magnesium and they caught fire, we wouldn't be talking about rebuilding this bike. You would be lucky if you could still see.

Wanta bet? :laugh:

I'd be willing to bet there are at least a couple (as in two) members riding on the street with magnesium wheels.

And I'm wondering if they're going to post in this thread.

Well Steve, I didn't know they were, but they must have to be real careful, unless its some kind of mag-al alloy.
