Pure gold wheels at less than 12 pounds each? ;-)

It does seem to me like a better wheel material would have been invented
by now.
Some type of composite that never goes out of round, is very lightweight
and is at least as break-resistant as the wheels we use now.

I know that magnesium has been used, but I would also prefer that my
wheels not burn at thousands of degrees if a fire occurs.
