I'm looking at a set of Corvette Magnesium Wheels and I wanted to know what's bad about these rims. I heard stuff like that they can't wet or they'll get permanently stained. Anyone know if this is true? If so, what else do I need to worry about or should I just forget about it?

If their factory C5 Magnesium wheels there is nothing to worry about.

Fitment on a LT1 might very likely require a bit of modification to fit. My cousin has a '95 Z28 and when he tried to put C5 wheels on his car, it wouldn't work...

If it's due to the center hole being to small, then it's nothing a dremel can't fix. If it's due to the offset, well... :x

I'm pretty sure it was the offset. C4 wheels are much more fbody friendly.
