are these aluminum or steel?

After "dowsing" with a refrigerator magnet, it appears there was a weak attraction to the wheel rim, so I'm reporting it to be a steel alloy of some kind, but the attraction was not strong enough to think it was all steel. The spokes may be steel, however. The best info source would of course, be Mavic.

They are metal but I do not see anywhere on the package that they are stainless steel.

They are metal but I don't know what kind. They look very much like wrought iron, but they are not heavy.

They are steel but look nice. I was just looking at them today and I have chrome tips on my tail pipes and saw how good they looked.

They are plastic over aluminum. The full structure of the part is all aluminum. It's more rigid and sturdy that I expected it to be.

Not sure the type of steel but they are just like the ones on a car just rated for less weight.

There is nothing on the packaging indicating that these blanks are 100% aluminum. However, they are very thin and flexible which leads me to believe they are. Thanks

Mine were aluminum, and very well built. You should note the seller so that others can avoid being ripped off.

Remember they are aluminum. ........... quite sturdy and heavy enough for aluminum.

I am not completely sure but I would say aluminum. They can bend very easily.

They are aluminum just like the rest of the frame held together with plastic interlocking clasps. I have a single spring mattress on them and so far it has been a comfortable sleep.

I can safely say they are galvanized "metal". Not sure about steel verses tin or aluminum, but they are definitely metal and I would suggest that they are unlikely to burn under normal circumstances.

They're sturdy, durable and fairly heavy. I would say that they are not made of aluminum... some other type of metal I'd guess.

Thank you for asking this question. I was trying to figure out how to test the material and you found the answer. So if its not steel, what is it? Aluminum blend I guess.

I would guess stainless. Definitely not plastic, and too heavy for aluminum.

Aluminum if I remember right. Bought them for a friend to make our wedding cake. But their weight suggested aluminum.

I'm not positive, but upon examining them, they seem like they're stainless. They are holding up well under use.
