they are a gorgeous looking wheel, i was so reluctant to let them go, but after having them welded up in excess of 10 times over the last couple of years proved far to much for me.

almost everyone ive known whos had a set has had to have some welding work carried out on them at some point.

being that they are a alloy/mag mix - the magnesium doesnt age quite so well and becomes brittle, the powdercoating process doesnt help the situation - baking them to quite a high temp only speeds up the deterioration of the magnesium!
