[alfa] Re: Magnesium Wheels

[SHartDP@xxxxxxx]

Sorry - this is not wholey alfa related, but magnesium is found on alfas in 
multiple places so...
Magnesium is an odd metal - very light, yet very brittle and YES it is 
flamable!  The metal will sit there and burn if it catches fire - definately not 
normal for a metal.    Welding the stuff can be a tricky task...
