If you picked them up and either hit yourself in the face with it or went "fook me that's light" they're MG, otherwise chances are they're alloy.

I've had a look and their not magnesium. They don't say anything magnesium related anyway and their not "really" light.

Jammy sod. I search every day for those. Got a set on my Nova and 3 spares. Spin them on the balancer before you paint them, as they will almost certainly be bent.

Or if you want to sell them / swap for Comp 15's / 16's get in touch.

TH's aint mag rims.

They are however, fooking heavy. Out of all the countless sets of TH's, RFX's & Cromodoras etc Ive had, the Cromodora's were by far the lightest.

X4 Just delivered to my truck, wrapped in new Michelin pilot exaltos, for cheaper than I could get 4 new tires for my other super t's :wtf:

Hopefully they'll be ok for Brands in the wet but anything has to be better than my 5 year old BFG's

I'm not sure I follow you Mike, TH's aren't mag so they're heavy... which is what I said? lol

So a mint gaitor just needs a clean, pretty mint sun visors again just need alittle clean. Then parcel from Germany, started collecting the early grey lower vinyls and found a rubber mat for the rear on ocp very cheap but no pics anywhere. Hoping for a black set I got a single brown one!! Just need to order another at some point!!
