In English speaking countries outside the U.S., in my experience the term 'alloy' is used interchangeably with 'aluminium'. If an engine is said to be 'alloy' it implies 'aluminium' or aluminum in American parlance. So I would think that Wouter Melissen did indeed mean aluminum when he used the term 'alloy'. You will find 'alloy wheels' in the U.K. is as commonly used as 'mags' in the U.S., which are seldom magnesium but used to describe any lightweight alloy wheel.... Confused? Me too!
