If you are referring to the one piece mag set they come available on EBay from time to time,
if you are referring to the three piece Speedline contact Anthony ( Cobalt on the forum)
he may just have what your looking for , pricey but the real deal, Bert

There are few sets here in Germany. If needed I can see if I can check them out and send you a set.

All around 10,000€

+1. I've read about RS's owners saving their magnesium Cup 1's in the garage as they aren't as strong as standard alloy Cup 1's.

Yes, mag wheels are more brittle and generally more fragile, thus they are less practical as a day to day proposition. The weight saving over a regular Cup 1 is material, but somewhat irrelevant unless you are competing for fractions of a second. Even back in the day the Cup racers used alloy wheels rather than the mags.
The mags are fundamental to the value of an RS, but othwise they're a bit of a waste of time and money (YMMV).
They are notoriously difficult to refurbish, so once done properly people tend to take them off the car and store them (I did !)
