Relax Rodknock. I think a lot of us like the mag look in the pics you posted and in Patrick's wheels regardless of which is most authentic. But I gotta say I would not want real magnesium alloy wheels on a street car. Lighter by volume than aluminum and better strength to weight ratio than most aluminum alloys, but all the mag alloys I am aware of are relatively unstable (they corrode in air). Magnesium is usually a material of last resort in aerospace where weight is critical.
