Default Does Tecnomagnesio make street wheels?

I realize I could drive the Tecnomagnesios on the street but a)they're way too expensive and b)there's good reasons not to use a magnesium wheel on the street.<p>So, do they make an aluminum version? Alternatively, does anyone else make a dark grey anodized wheel that would look similar?

Default Technomagnesios ARE street wheels....

in fact, if you were to look in a Japanese BMW tuning magazine, you'll probably see at least 5-10 cars with Technomagnesios.. I see your point in that the wheels may be expensive for everyday driving (especially if the roads are bad) but I don't see the reasons behind not using magnesium wheels on the street. My brother uses Hamann/O.Z magnesio wheels (19 inch) on his M3 without any problems. O.Z. also makes the same wheel for ABT in 18inch, and the same wheel is standard on the new Lotus Esprit sport 350. Speedline makes a magnesium wheel for the top of the line Saleen Mustangs... Aston Martin puts magnesium wheels on their special version of the Vantage... Volk Racing makes the TE37 in magnesium for various cars.....

Default I agree, they would be reasonable for street use
