misfit -

Be thankful you didn't go with real Magnesium - it is pretty high maintainence for street use. Although they are light and strong for their weight, they do not do well in the elements or with the road hazards of daily driving.

I would suggest painting your wheels with a dark grey epoxy paint. If the color is selected carefully, and the paint applied in a dry mist, I think you could achieve the "look" of tarnished Magnesium without incurring the worries of using real Magnesium. You want the color fairly dark, and with a little "tooth" to it.

good luck.

Jeff
