You posted a picture of painted aluminum wheels, in order to show what a coated magnesium wheel looks like...
Here's what a real, Dow7 coated magnesium wheel
actually looks like:
The color is very similar to the color of Patrick's spokes (in my opinion).
The lips on a magnesium wheel can also be dow7 coated (like these are) or they can be bare magnesium (which gradually turns a darker and darker gray as it oxidizes, until it is almost black- Just like the wheels in the picture of CSX4323), or the lips can be polished bare magnesium, which has a shine similar to polished nickel (mag wheel on the right, aluminum wheel on the left:
the darker the shade of gray a set of real mag wheels are, the more neglected they have been; but another point that I agree with Patrick on, is that the blue-gray color of the center spokes of Trigo wheels looks nothing like ANY shade of gray that you would ever see on a genuine Magnesium Halibrand...
