Rodney,
While I would love to have a set of American Racing Silverstone wheels,
like my aluminum ones, as used by Art Reed in his racing Tiger, I would
not risk driving on them.
Older magnesium wheels are rejected as "not race worthy" by the SCCA due
to age embrittlement. It would be OK for show purposes, but I would not
risk my life driving on them, much less "vigorously" using them.
Anyway, this is their opinion.
