That style Cromodora wheels were common in Europe in the 70's
and as far as I know they were all cast aluminium. If nothing else,
there should be a ~30% weight difference compared to any equal
size aluminium wheel. Less if compared to a BBS forged wheel. A
weight of some 10 lbs is normal for a magnesium wheel.
