A couple, few years ago, I chatted with Larry Bowman in the pits at Laguna during the vintage get together. He had Halibrand cast a number of magnesium 427 wheels and he still had sets available. Didn't ask the price as I was not interested in 427 style, but he did run quite a few sets. Might be worth checking with him, if anyone on the forum has contact info.

Hmmm. Interesting bit on sourcing and cost. That sounds like a good reason the magnesium project I was working on in South Australia in 2002 went nowhere.

Please be careful. I have been playing with magnesium wheels for decades. If one of my wheels didn't hold air, it meant it was cracked. Magnesium castings should not be porous. It casts well and machines well.
