Presumeably you mean magnesium alloy?

Try these people, they specialise in classics including Bugattis which as you probably know have mag. alloy wheels.

If they can't do it, I'm sure they'd recommend a company that can.

Rod jolley have done sheet metal restoration on the orginal merc 300slr gullwing, for the merc museum in stuggart i think, that was magnesium body, and i hear they were pretty much the only company willing to undertake that work, considering the flamibilty of the metal.

Cast may be some what easier, but I'm guessing.

I used Ace Wheels in Carwath Scotland 01555 841000. the do repairs to mag wheels. Very few people do or are prepared to do it because of the risks or have the knowlege of the difference from normal wheels. He will also coat them, again difficult to get people to do that!
Used him before as do a lot of racing people
Dump of a garage but they all are!
