That being said, I love magnesium wheels and am considering grabbing one of these sets. Even though they are more work, not as strong, can possibly leak, etc.
And they're the twice the money. $3,200 for a set. I've seen them and after 5-ish years of sitting on a shelf inside a garage, they still look brand new. As for leaking, I believe the recommendation is to paint the part that the tire hides to help with sealing, although the newer magnesium wheels are much improved in this area.
