So I ended up with a set of these, 2 6x15s, 2 5x14s but the weird thing is, they're steel hoops with aluminum or magnesium centers plug welded into them. Does anyone know anything about them and also know a way to tell if they're aluminum or magnesium as a couple of the others have some corrosion that looks more like mag to me. Any help appreciated.
Cheers,
Pip.
