Default Re: Mag Wheels

Motor Wheel "Fly"fronts are wrought magnesium,the rears are aluminum. I have had mine for years with no problems with either pair. You can stop the fronts from oxidizing by "spinning" them on a lathe using 180 grit emery cloth to bring back the original finish. Then spray a coat of good satin clear on them. They look real sharp. Unfinished they will oxidize almost immediately & turn black. They are still legal to use as far as I know & I intent to keep using mine as they are in my opinion still the coolest looking around. Not the highest tech wheels out there anymore though. Bogart makes a similar wheel called the flystar,I believe.
