Lynn,
I am no expert either, but I'm sure that the term "magnesium" when applied to car parts such as mag. wheels does not mean pure magnesium. The magnesium ribbon is nearly pure magnesium, while other manufactured items are alloys of magnesium and other metals. They will still exhibit some of the characteristics of magnesium, but not to the same degree as pure magnesium.
