The M&A website states that the weight savings is about 36% over aluminum, but the investment in these wheels has to be more than just weight savings since I'm not racing each week or month. I do like "The Look" a lot, but getting out to the garage to buff my wheels each week, doesn't sound plausible for me.

How long does it take to buff all four wheels with Mr. Buffer and Powerball?

Also, are the magnesium Halibrands made in the last 5 years, lets say, better quality than the wheels made 10-20 years ago? Have there been improvements made in the casting process recently?
