Re: Media Blasting Question
Wheels that have a high content of Magnesium in them will oxidize easy. Water anywhere near them in storage will destroy one in a few years if you don't notice it.
The ultra lightweight Mag wheels on my Lola (17" wide by 15" dia. that weigh 5lbs) will clean up and stay in good condition when you spray them down heavy with WD-40. It will help break up the white buildup sometimes if it is not too bad and has not calicified hard.
You might waste a can on them and see if it will help before you blast them. BTY: blasting if done with light air pressure and sand media by someone that is not a dumbass should not hurt the wheel. The material is soft so move fast and use a lower air pressure and by all means protect the machined surfaces if you can.
