        Listerati,
        Tomorrow I'm going to take a look at a set of the American Racing 
mags that were dealer options for the TR250 (and perhaps other cars). The 
owner says they are Magnesium , and it sounds like one is trashed, with a
chip missing from the rim. The spinners are not included. I have a bunch of
questions, including:
        -Is there an easy way to tell magnesium from aluminum?
        -Is magnesium repairble/restorable the way aluminum is?
        -How much can I expect to pay to have the wheels "rehabed"
        by a wheel restoration shop? Is it worth it?
        -What are these wheels worth, say for a usable wheel with
        cosmetic dings and blemishes?
        Any advice would be appreciated.
        Best Regards,
        Tom Marincic
