Thanks. I'm so very pleased with how they turned out.
You're not kidding. I was pretty anal about my stock BBS's, I'm gonna be so crazy about curbs with these. :thumbsup
Thanks Brian.
PM sent. Two actually. :lol Short answer is "YES, and I wish I would have thought of doing that!!!".
Thanks Lance. Sometimes even a blind squirrel finds a nut. They turned out better than I dared hope.
Thanks Shadowman. :thumbsup
Me too. But then again, is there ever ANYTHING done that doesn't enhance these cars, including doing absolutely NOTHING to them?? :cheers
Thanks. I think so too. I'm going to order up the Hot Tyres kit and figure out how to do this. My tires are still all black right now.
:cheers
I hope to have my buddy available pretty soon to do up a proper photoshoot. Can't wait. :thumbsup
Oh, and to JBSteven, as to the power handling capabilities, they're the stock wheels on the Koenigsegg CCX, Ascari and Mosler cars. :thumbsup

Yes, they sure are. You know, I REALLY like Carbon!! I think I might become Kip's new best customer! :willy:willy:willy :wink
Thanks man. You should get a set for your new TT Gallardo. :eek And like I said about YOUR wheels in your wheel/purchase thread for your GT, your wheels look great too. :thumbsup
Sanjay, you KNOW they'd look great on your car. Dymag has a silver set shown on a Silver GT on their website, but I think a black set would look AMAZING on a Silver GT. WIN!! They'd also look amazing on a Black Series SL. :wink The dealer I got them from also just put a set on a Black (color) McLaren SLR :thumbsup

Great looking wheels! I agree, I especially like them on the heritage! Also, white lettering for the win!
We did a bit of research on these wheels when we were considering them for the GTR. When we spoke with the manufacturer they explained to us why they switched from the magnesium to the magnelium and your explanation is correct. The other thing is that magnesium is an unusual material in that it corrodes from the inside out, so you can't actually see if there is a problem with the metal until (generally speaking) it's too late. The magnesium would fatigue or corrode over time and there was the potential for wheel failure.
Now, with the magnelium construction Dymag is much more confident that these wheels will not have the same issues that they had in the past with their magesium setup. If I recall correctly I believe magnelium is a mixture of magnesium and aluminum.
If anyone is interested in these we are an authorized distributor!
