To be clear, I did not mean to imply that you were misrepresenting them. To your credit, as I said, you never called them 'magnesium' wheels.
I can answer why those without CSXs would want them. In my case it was the desire for their lightness from a performance standpoint. Also their original beauty which the minor differences the aluminum wheel makers failed to capture. My feeling is that the only impetus for the alloys is the ease of maintenance compared to magnesium.
Evan may want them because he
has a CSX. Rodknock may want them for his KMP because;
He loves the light weight which his car is known for,
He loves their appearance,
He's nuts-
No, I don't think they're just for CSXs-if you want to pay the price of admission. Indeed, many restored original Cobras are fitted with Trigos!
