There is nothing wrong with magnesium alloy wheels.

As for magnesium fires, that's a problem I can't help you with.

76,500 yen comes out to $621 per wheel in 17x8 size, after shipping that would probably put you at about the same price as the TWS T-66 and more than a pound lighter. If you were a real weight nazi it would be worth the trouble. I am not crazy about the looks. They are cool I think they look better than the TWS T-66 but I think the WedsSport TC105n look best on our cars
