They may be-we just have no one with the experience to report as they aren't even made yet.
For years I saw Anson and ET mag dragster wheels and knew what they were about. Maybe Clayton would chime in here.
At the time, mine were made of 'improved alloy' mag too and the claims then were the same as now. But I bought them with the realistic expectation that they'd be a maintenance PIA unless I wanted them to 'turn'. I was right but still don't regret it. Left untouched, mine would now be a pile of salt in the garage.
I'm jus' sayin' that you newer guys should not be rudely surprised if your maintenance regimen consists of laying on the couch watching football games...
