   I am referring to the early real magnesium Minilites that I have on my
   Bugeye.   The  real magnesium ones were not even labelled as Minilites
   until  much  later  in  production.   The  aluminum  minilites you are
   referring to were named "Sport" Minilites.

   Real  Minilites  are  of  course  available in Magnesium or Aluminium.
   Various  companies  have  bought  and sold the Minilite name in the UK
   over the years.

     Hi Jack,
     In comparison to real Minilites, Panasports, Revolutions etc., they
     are  way  overbuilt  and heavy.  Here is something that should make
     you  feel  good  .  .  .  the  Minators  should never break on your
     Sprite.   They  are very safe (though also a little boring) in that
     respect.
     Yes,  I  can state what I just did because I have owned the rims to
     compare.  Do you know anyone with an actual magnesium Minilite that
     you  can  hold  up in comparison to the Minator?  If you could feel
     the difference, you would understand the comments made fully.
     . . . And then it is possible to buy the knock-on Minators that are
     8  more  lbs.  of  unsprung  weight to slow you down.  Run for your
     life!
     Mike C
