Is there a particular reason you want to run magnesium? There are other wheels out there that are strong and lightweight.

I've seen some mag. centers for sale that would bolt into the sport design wheels I have. Thought it would be a neat way to lose a lot of weight. The cast centers are extremely heavy. It sounds like it would be risky to buy used.
