maybe i was a little vague ,

a magnesium minlight wheel does not have the finish

even in the period when you could buy them new

of a similar wheel of this time

the finish that was on the period wheels i have seen is very 'rough' as in cast

finish and never would look like the finish on the wheels pictured
