Magnesium 12" Minilites?

[Tupers]

Has anyone come across a set of Magnesium alloy 12" Minilites before? I've got a mate taking the tyres off them at the moment but they certainly seem light enough with the tyres on that they could be Mag.

They were readily available in the 1960's and 1970's. Used on the 'works' Rallye Imps for some events.

Beware though, they may be porous. As in you may need inner tubes and if you're doing that ou should really consider if they're safe for driving.

I bought a 40year old set in South Africa, got them to Norway and I trash them

I've got a set that came from a Clan Crusader or Ginetta G15. Ran them tubed on my GT for years.
