Seems AR has decided to make the wheels I've been considering made of magnesium. More expensive than aluminum. Are they lighter? Will they catch fire if I overheat the brakes Really like the old school look! Now if I can just talk AR into letting them use my truck as a rolling test bed.

What do you guys think about them?

Depending on the alloy used magnesium can be alot lighter.

You are correct. I have a set that should be going on the truck in the next couple of months.

Looking at the 18's. 20's would look better but I'm a go not show guy. I probably wouldn't even change the factory wheels but I have big brakes on the to do list down the line. Got to have at least 18 inch wheels to fit in the rotors.

I'm always loking at e-bay for wheels and ran accross them. The guy selling them described them as Magnesium and they were about 400 bucks higher than the others I had seen. The color had never been described as that. I then went to AR website and saw magnesium and then just assumed they were made of magnesium and were new. After reading the website now it does look like they are now calling the color magnesium grey. Anyway I still want them...... The guy on e-bay is smokin crack if they are the aluminum ones. He has them way to high.

They are sweet looking wheels either way.
