I saw this also.
I asked them what the availability of extra wheels would be in the future. No point in having them if you couldn't buy spares or replacements. I'll let you know what I find out. Thanks for posting this, you beat me to it. Ty |

Thanks for posting this, you beat me to it. Ty Here is the answer I received: Dear tyoneal, Ty, I have two sets of these wheels with the same dimensions. I still have the molds for them but I doubt I will make another run in magnesium in the near future. Thank you, Steven - 38gt1 ============================== Am I wrong, doesn't magnesium, while light, slowly degrades by accumulating very small fractures when in use? Looks to me the hot set up, given they were reasonably durable, is to make or buy a mold and just make your own. There are a lot of small foundries out there that specialize in small jobs. Ty |
Buy the wheels. Rent the molds and have spares made if you have a foundry and machine shop that will work with Magnesium.

Ty magnesium wheel don't deteriorate over time if cared for. I have a set of 9 1/2'' Magnesium Minilites on my 66 that have been on the car since 1975 or so with no problems. Today I would buy a set of aluminum replica's for street use. Much cheaper !!! ---- Ken
Ken: Thanks for the clarification. I knew there was something about them that was different I just forgot exactly what the issue was. When you say "Care For" what does that entail. What exactly happens when not done? Thanks, Ty |

Ken:
Thanks for the insight. I have some PSE Mini lights on my 69 Camaro, and they look terrific. I'll put some of his Corvette GS wheels on my GS. Thank goodness he is around, without him there are SO MANY great wheels that would be just absent. Ty |
Are these wheels new, used, or abused? Is backspacing same front and rear? Can you send photos? Thanks
