I recently found a set of American Racing "Silverstones." I believe these 
were
dealer-installed options on Mark I GT6s. My question is, are they really
magnesium wheels or are they just aluminum. I've read that they were,
but they don't feel any lighter than some aluminum American Racing slotted
wheels that I traded for them. In pictures showing '60s SCCA racing, I
see that many TR4s used these wheels. Has anyone used them on their
race car? I paid $250 for them; is that how much they usually go for?
