hello guys,
I buy a new car and my friend show me the newest people's development : magnesium wheels!
It's really interesting to see how fast the science and technology going on! Sciece and technology go together and create very useful things for us.
I see and some information in internet about that:

magnesium.com announces its inaugural "BEST NEW WHEEL DESIGN COMPETITION" for 2006. The competition is an excellent opportunity to introduce cutting-edge concepts and design to the automotive magnesium wheel industry. You are limited only by your creativity.

Magnesium is the metal of the future that will revolutionize automotive design and manufacturing. True "Mag Wheels" are finally in the line of vision for auto manufacturers. Magnesium wheels are on Formula One race cars, high-end luxury and sports vehicles and becoming a sought-after accessory in the after-market world.

You're right, my Chromium (http://www.sciforums.com/showthread.php?p=1128452#post1128452) wheels fell apart. What was I thinking??

magnesium... is great... but i would never drive a car made out of it.

it burns.... at 3000 degrees F... very hot.

just take a blow torch to your new rims... and watch the show.

it will light up like the sun.... and your car will melt. part of it anyway.

Well Holy Shit! :eek: These "Magnesium Wheels" sure make my Wheels Made Out Of Cheese look and taste exactly like the enormous mounds of Cow Fudge they really are - having visited Magnesium.com I'll never go back back to wheels made out of anything BUT magnesium, or at the very least, some other form of alloy, EVER AGAIN!

I CAN'T capitalise enough - THANKYOU! :eek:

"BEST NEW WHEEL DESIGN COMPETITION"
Yeah, but aren't you just re-designing the wheel?

These "Magnesium Wheels" sure make my Wheels Made Out Of Cheese

'Wheels of Cheese, talking 'bout my wheee-eeeels of cheese!'

Sing along now.

'Talking 'bout my wheels of cheese!, da da daah da da daaaaaaah!

fasten your seatbelts your in for a bumpy ride

Mg wheels? Um. . . So nobody remembers highschool chemistry?

"This wheel's on fire
Rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode!"

Magnesium is the metal of the future

Well I'm sold.

You're joking? "Mag wheels" have been around since the 1960s, if not a few years earlier.

Fraggle, as usual, is correct (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_wheels)

I could be wrong but wasnt those just regular aluminum wheels that everyone used to call mags?
isnt magnesium bit too expensive,hence mostly formula 1 cars use it.
