HAH!   First I heard of this!   But if people want to send me great piles 
of money, I have no objections! :>)

I think the photos referenced here show aluminum wheels.   He's primarily 
casting them in the original magnesium, but he made three sets in aluminum 
for a Swiss customer.   After they were done, the guy changed his mind and 
bought magesium instead, leaving three sets of aluminum GT5 wheels unsold.

I have been consulting (helping) Cesare from the start, and even though I 
never met him, he seems to trust me to hold onto his cash and act as an 
intermediary.   And he seems to think that you guys (well, most of you anyway!) 
trust me too.   So if people are uncomfortable with the notion of just 
beaming thousands of dollars to some guy overseas, and would prefer that I act as 
an escrow agent, I guess I could do that for you....
