Do it! (f u want). I think the color of the car as well as other cf pieces puts it all together. And sounds like other people here feel the same way.

They are carbon fiber wrapped not carbon fiber, Werk's full carbon fiber wheels at sema were like 16g's... ISS forged CF wrapped wheels are completely reasonably for custom 3 piece wheels.

I like the CF wrapped wheels. I also think it works better on some colors and not others.

lol from what I hear they all use the same people to build their wheels, so lol in some weird way he is getting the same type of wheels, with a different name haha. How much did you pay for the carbon fiber wrap, pm if you can just wondering if its in my budjet.

With regard to ISS, nothing but good things from me. They were very intelligent with regard to technical questions, let me do some custom work regarding fasteners, kept me in the loop as to production, put up with my indecisiveness regarding wheel color, and delivered when promised.......all for a wheel design that they hadn't even produced before.

Moreover, the wheels look great and (knock-wood) I haven't had any problems what-so-ever with them.

Yes, there are many wheel manufacturer's, and yes they probably do use the same company to actually produce the wheel, but ISS was very helpful and I would contact them again if I was looking for a different set.

Also, here's another reference pic: MDiau's car with CF wrapped Strause wheels. IIRC they are 20's.

I think it would look good on a black ISF. But not necesarily the 5spoke design that shows alot of the brakes, thats more for porsches and cars like that

Although it's a fairly expensive option when tied in with a CF theme, it can work quite well:
