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.
