    Great lineup of forged Aluminum and forged Magnesium wheels made by the Japanese manufactuer, NEEZ. The custom wheels are available in a variety of fitments, and the magnesium wheels are completely custom order. These are some of the best one-piece wheels you can buy.
    18" Aluminum weighs in at ~18lbs ea.
    18" Magnesium weighs in at ~15lbs ea.
    Like i said earlier these are perfect for any F-car, and other quality automobiles :) Please call (719) 232-7721, or visit www.setuning.com and i'll be happy to answer any questions you might have.

    Here are some pictures on some of the supercars...

    If they really are magnesium wheels they are not that suitable for road use. They would have a usable life and should be crack tested periodically.

    They hold up very well. The Forged Magnesium wheels that i have seen from NEEZ have been strong performers on the track and on the street.

    The problems with magnesium wheels are well documented. I have a
    360 N-GT race car and magnesium wheels were an (expensive) option. A local race operation bought a heap of them in with another 360 GT. They have been unable to sell any of them because of the problems.
    I suspect the wheels pictured here are low magnesium content and possibly are more durable as a result.

    Very nice looking wheels. I'm especially fond of the various 5 spoke designs.
    Are these full magnesium? I'd be skeptical, unless they're a mag/alum alloy. Wouldn't want to deal with the porosity and brittleness issues of magnesios.

    The Mag wheels are approximately:

    91% AZ80A-T6 magnesium
    7.8% aluminum
    rest is zinc, iron, etc.

    They are very strong, very lightweight, and quite durable.
    hope that answers your questions :)
    Please let me know if you have anyother questions!

    Yes, the most important question of all
    how much do they weigh!!! list the width of the weighed wheel also please :D

    Volk makes a TE37 Mag which is 18x8.5 12lb and 18x10 14.5lbs but these are only available in 5x114.3 to my knowledge.
    About $1000-1500 a pop depending on the width (18x8.5, 18x10 or 18x10.5) and whos buying em for ya.

    -Ben Martin

    P.S. Those look like very nice wheels, well. Most of em :D A couple aren't very good looking.

    These are fully customizable, and any bolt pattern you would want ;) (centerlock available too :))

    And their copies of the spline drive wheels for Boxers, in 17" or 18", are how much?

    What widths were you looking at? The pricing should be on the site, www.setuning.com :)

    Hmmm, I'm curious how they do custom offsets/backspacing on a forged wheel. That could get very expensive having to make new forging dies everytime.

    Only a few dies would be needed to roughly accomodate the spoke design of different offsets and widths. Then the hub of the wheel is machined to finished spec.

    They have made quite a few dies, but you are correct :)
