My recent Blitz kart purchased

You can tell by cleaning off an inconspicuous area and applying vinegar. If it fizzes, the metal is magnesium. There were thousands of mag Go Powers sold, but over the years they've become a bit scarce in certain sizes. The ones that are concave in the area where the six holes are located are the later Series II wheels, and you might get repop wheels from Scott Wigginton at ASW  R&D Machining. The repops Scott sells are aluminum. You can also get the front Series II wheels  from Matco. They're an aircraft supplier, and they have the wheels as nosewheel assemblies, complete with ball bearings. If your wheels are CONVEX in shape, they're Series I wheels, and you'll just have to find them either on the forum or on eBay. You can give the TIG a shot and see what happens, but don't burn your shop down! Ted

Ted the wheels are concave where the 6 holes are and vinegar fizzes on it so maybe the best bet is sell 2 good
ones off on ebay  and buy the aircraft wheels for the front and the ASW for the rear these have some g0ld paint
left on them like many of Karts that i see at the group events videos i can weld but not going to get involved with
magnesium and chance a fire !!! Rich,
