Prices dangit, I wanna know prices!!

Now if only 20"s could be made out of carbon fiber... everyone would jump on that - get the big size with no weight penalty. YESSSSSSSS!!

Different view...

14.6lb for 18x9.0

16.6lb for 19x9.0 (supposedly TUV approved? and stronger than aluminum...)

They're not a new company as they have been manugfacturing these wheels for motorcycles for some time...

Wow u have access to them? What do u think? How much?

menech

wow that is impressive!

they must cost a fortune! Mag wheels are already fairly pricey...I can't imagine how much the cost must sky rocket when adding a CF barrel! I would also be interested in seeing how they attach the face to the CF barrel...like what type of bonding process is used.

I can't see how cf can be stronger than aluminum. besides, when aluminum takes a big enough hit to damage it, it just bends. cf however, imo, would shatter or explode when(if) it did actually get hit hard enough.

Interesting concept for racers. But I see these things being destroyed on the street. That and there styling isn't all that great.

Eternity3G

I'll post retail pricing soon, but for now, rough ballpark MSRP at the present moment is ~$2K/wheel...

Richie

Thats about what the Azev carbon wheels cost. (only available in 18-19")

I'm happy with aluminum
