Mag as in magnesium, or do you just want info on making alloy wheels, most of which are aluminum?

Here are some terms you might search for:
Gravity cast
Vacuum cast
Squeeze cast
Semi-solid forging
Forged
Spun rim

There have been some magazine articles about how wheels are made that I have read in the last few years. I think the last one I read was in Grassroots Magazine. They toured the OZ factory or something like that.
