I'm selling my mags, replacing them with thin spoke polished. My car is black with an oak top and I get a lot of compliments on them, they kind of match the top, but I think chrome or polished looks much better. If anyones interested in my mags let me know. They are complete with tires and sensors. tires are worn out though.

If you polish your mags you will need to get them clear coated.

Magnesium starts to oxidize almost instantly. You will polish

youself crazy otherwise. Don't ask how I know. Also much of the

crud on the road surfaces will etch their surfaces if you don't shield

them. BTW they will have a slight gold tint.
