I always liked the look too. They are not as popular as one would think do to the cost. And, GM stopped offering them. Also, there are lighter stock wheels. The standard silver wheel is as light or lighter if i recall. Look great though!! :thumbs:

Wax them and clean them like the paint on the car and they will be fine!

A couple of months ago a member posted photos, in the wheel and tire section, of his magnesium wheels after stripping and polishing them. Not something you see every day and very nice.
Be careful of "Magnesium" dust. It is explosive. Firemen say the best way to put out a "Magnesium" fire is to bury it, in the dirt.
