Aluminum rims have been referred to as "Mags" for years. Hence the reason I keep calling them "Mags."
It doesn't mean they're magnesium wheels, it's just a name.

The 60's, 70's and 80's can stay in the 60's, 70's and 80's.... Because something was done 20, 30 ,40 years ago doesn't show that it's done now. Industry has moved away because of stronger, nonflammable alternatives.
And, If it were just a name, why did you say

They're made of an aluminum alloy bonded with magnesium and other metals, hence the name "mag" rims.

Mg wheels are Mg base alloys. Al wheels are Al base alloys. Calling it something else is inaccurate. Words have definitions to allow effective communication. Perhaps I'm anal about it - but attention to detail is my job
