i've not seen Sunbursts in Mag before. But, i haven't seen everything. Just a lot.

This implies that the original designers likely did not design to mag nor test either in a lab or in practice.

The good doctor's efforts are laudable and effective as all get-out. But, i am concerned about the design limitation in cast mag. Having no evidence of testing or use, i would suggest caution until some use in racing is applied.

Wheels on race cars and airplanes are subject to serious stresses and the road to wheel nirvana is literally littered with broken parts and bones.

They are beautiful, though. i wish the good Doc all success. i would suggest a test schedule, as awfully expensive as that might be. The liabilities might be daunting, otherwise?

Others might want to also address this. Cast Mag is not automatically better than aly in any random application without proof from both analysis and testing.
