With that level of corrosion, they are magnesium.  Do not use vintage magnesium wheels for anything.  They are not even safe to hold the car up.

Another possible product?

I recall a thread discussing relocating the steering rack for reduced bump steer.
I need to locate that thread.
With the CNC's running soon I would be able to mass produce modified mounts.

If you need real cheap rollers that hold air, people give away Spitfire steelies all the time on the Triumph forums. Sometimes even with sound tires on them!

Thanks, Gideon.

I actually have no intention of putting these wheels back on the road. I have another (expensive) wheel in mind, but I’m years away from worrying about those right now. I just need something to be able to roll it around, but my OCD won’t allow me to mount a non-matching set of wheels. I was hoping someone may have a couple of these lying around.

I don’t know if they’re magnesium or aluminum. I honestly haven’t had time to pay much attention to the car. We dragged it home, sat it on the parking pad, and that’s been about the extent of it.

Are those magnesium alloy?  That might explain the degree of corrosion.  If they are magnesium then perhaps you should seek advice before re-using them for a road car. 

Just so you know,  a new set of wheels is quite affordable, e.g.

I have a set of later/stronger type rods I would let go cheap.
