My father designed a magnesium racing wheel back in the 70's called a Kimtab wheel. They used them on motorcycles and even BMX for a while. I've been trying to convince him to modify the design for automobiles. Our company specializes in magnesium. I'm not sure why they wouldn't be allowed at the strip...most cars today have magnesium bulkheads behind the dashboard and hell VW Beetle engine's have mag blocks. The old Haliburton wheels that are still popular on Gassers and rods are magnesium.
