You may be re-enforcing PL's understanding of a "very weak" vehicle there. I have used Marchesini's forged (100%) magnesium wheels for years on all race & practice superbikes that I've owned. They are ultra light & stable, but incredibly brittle. One crash and they simply explode in pieces.
Thinking of it, I am also extremely surprised that those wheels held up better than the carbon fiber
