Save your money, will get battered on track.
If you go off road they will get scratched up esp if in the gravel.

yeah you can't dip them in acid, they have to be stripped manually (ie media blasted)

I was told magnesium wheels have a very short shelf life, 2 years iirc before they go all brittle and unusable.

So just spray a layer of primer over and re spray then I gues??

Any ideas how much that would rob me? As I like the style of these and may use them as my road set yet!!

Intreated in this as I use mag wheels daily... 2nd hand aswell so have no idea how old they are... Should I be worried!?!?
