      Were they painted when they were black? I hear its not good for the magnesium centers to be any color than what they came in. Due to the fact hat they can corrode. I have no idea how negligible or not this is, though. LOVELY wheels, man. I would get a set of these in a second if I could find some in my offset and in 17" for the ///M

      The black was a thick powder coat, which isn't the best for magnesium. It isn't necessarily bad for the metal itself, but a thick powder coat can allow for wheel cracks to go undetected. Pure magnesium is succeptable to corroding, but I don't believe there is a pure magnesium wheel on the market. Almost all forms of structural magnesium material is an alloy with other metals, such as aluminum.

      Funny thing is that the centers are for BOTH 16" and 17" wheel barrels. Kinda weird...

        Well, same is true for RS's. Only the lip is different. True story.
