Tarantula rims, Magnesium?

[pbureau@attbi.com (pbureau@attbi.com)]

Yeash I had a set of magnesium, rather light suka's but 
in honexty if you are going to rally or scca in them you 
will find them to warp and dent very fast. hell I had a 
set on my daily driver and they warped and dented on teh 
pot hoel of Montreal, Qc. (the only place I know that 
have a newspaper contest on the biggest potholes of the 
city going in teh world)

and yes no lip on outside lip of the rim.
