Anyone with photo of Techno Magnesio...

[CCMDoc]

on a Yellow esprit? I am considering a set and wanted to get an idea of the look. Really liked the look of the titanium grey center onthe stock '01 wheels posted recently by another member.
Thanks and stay well,

Actually they are called "Chrono Magnesio", the "Techno Magnesios" were the wheels on the Elise Sport 190.

Here is a picture of these wheels on a 2000 Esprit V8 in Inferno Red.




Very nice wheels on a metallic colored car.
I wouldn't mind them on my car.


Might look something like this.

Thanks for the clarification and for the photos.

Great looking Esprit. I was at Watkins Glen with a V8GT in a similar color - my first personal encounter with an Esprit. In fact, I have some in-car video I shot while there and he is in front of me (in my Euro 850CSi) in some of the video.

Thanks again and stay well,
Paul

My car has magnesios:




Could not find a pic of a yellow esprit with those wheels, so i did a quick paintshop for you:


If you have a chance to buy these wheels you should definitely go for it. They are super-rare and very light. Total weight saving by fitting a set of these to my esprit (replacing six-spoke AWI's) was approx 15kg. Oh, and they where the wheel of choice for another british supercar manufacturer for a "special":

(ps - travis, stick with the silver wheels, much better look on your vulcan grey IMO )

[CCMDoc]

Well, that convinced me - will get the deal done today. As I am a track-addict, I will likely mount some R-compound tires on these wheels and use them exclusively there.

Don't know if it is allowed here but if so, I will post a link with some photos and another with some in-car video one of which has me behind a grey Esprit - that is, if anyone is interested. Rules state not to post your own website - I don't own it, but do not want to break the rules as a newbie here.
Stay well and thanks all for the advice and photos.

Paul - i'm sure that isn't breaking any rules. Lets see your photos & vids

[CCMDoc]

OK.

Here is a link to some photos:

And here is one to the videos - you need to join SonyImagestation (free) to download them. The grey Esprit appears midway through the video titled "Watkins Glen May 7th" (second photo)

Thanks Rob.

I hadn't actually planned on changing to grey wheels. It would be next to impossible to get a shade that would look good next to the Vulcan Grey, because te Vulcan Grey changes in different lighting conditions.

I like your Sport 350! I helped a local Sport 350 (USA metallic black) do some work on his car. Sport 350's are rare! But then Vulcan Grey Esprits are even rarer. I know of 5 in the world.

Well, if we're on about rare then my car is the only blue Sport 350 there is. So that's more than rare, that's unique

[allmine]

well, here's another silver one with THE wheels:

Oh I didn't look at your profile, somewhere in my memory I thought you had a Sport 350.

Still a nice V8GT

There are several black Sport 350's here in the states. The particular car that I worked on was owned by a Carl, here in Colorado. He has since sold it to Michael Friedman www.michaelsmotorsports.com
