Couldnt find if anyone had posted this yet... this was on my bike forum...

"A Japanese company by the name of Weds Sport has come up with the first full carbon fiber wheel. They unveiled the wheels with what they call their Dry Carbon Wheel Project at the last Tokyo Auto Salon show.

One wheel weighs in at just 2.76kg, which works out to be 6.08475844 pounds. Interested in getting a set of these for your car? Expect to pay around $10,000-$12,000 for the set. While it sounds expensive, you can easily spend $8,000+ on custom three-piece forged wheels from a company like HRE.

Weds Sport’s display also featured a wheel with a carbon fiber face, but more than likely a forged aluminum wheel surrounding. This is probably a much cheaper solution, and potentially arguably better looks. "

that would be sweet!


Ya... I like the first pic best... the CF center of a 3 piece wheel would be just sick. That would look sexy as hell.... I think I'd be scared as shit to have a full CF wheel.... could u imagine them on Michigan roads... LOL! Big pot hole BAM! 3K out the window!
 
Ive seen CF delaminate on aircraft. not pretty. I'd be afraid to try on a wheel that takes a pounding on roads and has centrifugal force acting on it.

i'd wait to see if the can last or not. :D
 
i used to work for a company that made concept parts for oem companies. they had some dodge ram 20" rims in cf, and some for the crossfire too.
