Magnesium Rims?
Hi all. I just took these rims off my 99 Coupe and am looking to sell them but not quite sure which kind they are. I thought they were Magnesium. They are stamped GM on the front, but do not have the Yellow Magnesium lettering like I have seen on other's. And there is a stamp on the inside of each 1 that says Italy, and some other miscellaneous lettering on each of the inside spokes.
Anyways here are some pics, and help is apprecited as I do not want to represent them as something they are not.

with the above - they are magnesium and are a very nice set of wheels for the C5. Quite an expensive option to the cars (ranging anywhere from $3K in the early years to $995 for the '04 model year).

If the other three are in as good of shape as the one in the picture you shouldnt have a problem selling them at all. 
I just replaced my Mag wheels and have them in my garage. I'm probably going to list them on the forums some time this month to see what I can get for them but the front wheels have considerable road rash on them.
