Default mystery mag wheels

The wheels have places where you can see oxidation (white powder), they have the right color for magnesium wheels. They have been clear coated apparently some time ago, but finish has worn off in places. The previous owner tested a small spot of bare metal with vinegar to see if it would react, it did. I have removed them, they are extremely light for such big wheels. I wonder if Trigo or some other manufacturer tried to duplicate the Cobra II wheels in magnesium.
