Cup wheels 8J question

[R27_Frank]

Hi guys,

I'm after some track wheels and came a cross a set op geniune cup wheels.
My only concern is how fragile the wheels are ?
I heard they are made of magnesium and aluminium so do they bend or crack fast ?
In my opinion magnesium bend and crack way to fast.
The seller said that they are aluminium so no bending of cracking.

Thanks guys,
Frank

Mine were tanked around Spa, using all the kerbs, and were fine.

Did you got the chance to weight the wheel ?

No but from memory they're something like 10kg per wheel

They are heavier than standard wheels and don't have that much magnesium in them. They are designed for some heavy bashing in the Clio Cup race series. I have done loads of track days with mine and they are fine.

Part magnesium, same as the 7.5j wheel I expect, it's heavier than those. Good strong wheel though
