All the HRC wheels (RS250R/NSR500/RC30/RC45 etc.) are magnesium, and they've also done plenty of SP Magteks. Something is amiss there, which they should rectify in my opinion; certainly if it's within 6 months.

They weren’t in great shape when they went off but that was more to do with the fact the gold had aged and was no long shinny but at that time there was no worming.
The wheels started to go off about 6 months after they came back but bare in mind it took me another 18 months to two years to get it on the road so wasn’t down to salt or water ingress - so I’m well past any warranty period, It started with the gold showing dark spots like bruising on the skin of soft fruit and then the worming started and rather like the kids book “The hungry caterpillar” its never stopped - Another two years and they will be hollowed out husks!

I might take the plunge and try one wheel with the guys at TPCS as everything they describe is what’s happening to mine
They certainly have list of pre requisites that need to be done before they will even entertain starting work so I guess their attention to detail is likewise as high.
