Reply to "What are the Pros & Cons of Magnesium vs Aluminum Wheels"

FuzzMember

Thank you husker. I wonder if Mr. Fiat gets their wheels from Marvic.

I have read numerous posts that state sand gravity casted magnesium wheels are prone to cracking, and they are nearly impossible to repair. Alternatively, it is impossible for forged magnesium wheels to crack. The cost must be a large factor as to why manufacturers rarely do forged magnesium wheels anymore.

Having said that, any members experience cracking issues with new magnesium wheels which were casted as opposed to forged? Magnesium wheels are a huge investment, and I am trying to decide between functionality and price vs. originality. I am willing to fork up the money for magnesium rims, but not if they only last a few years.
