Scott,                                                                          
                                                                                
I have a set of AREs on my 4A, that my 3B racecar was raced on for a number of  
years.  Don't seem to be too succeptible to warping.  A couple of mine have a   
small dent at the bead, but remain true.                                        
                                                                                
The 8 spokes are rather rough, but meant to be a dull finish.  I cleaned up my  
oxidation with fine sandpaper at the smooth bead area.                          
                                                                                
I used to have a second set, but sold them 10 years ago.                        
                                                                                
I believe the magnesium can become porous, so keep an eye on the air pressure.  
                                                                                
Only other thing to watch out for is a car fire.  I hear they are "pretty" to   
see burn!  ;-)>
