They're only 6.1lbs and only $12k per set of 4!

 

WOW! that is Hella light!

 

THATS RIGHT BISHES.. WEDS SPORTS... DEY ARE DE MUDERFUGIN FO DE WINZ!!

WEDS 4 LYF!!!!!

 

they look just like my enkei j10s. 6 pounds is awesome though!! hopefully nebster will have these soon.

 

only 12 g's, not bad

 

Ehh...

I don't care what they say about testing, no way is that safe. I've heard stories of reps from Gemballa and BBS say themselves that full carbon fiber wheels are not safe.

In order to even get a inertial balance on these wheels the pattern would have to be perfectly even all the way around. Yeah, carbon fiber wheels do seem like the next thing, but from a engineering perspective, it's too scary for me.

 

These would be for a trailer queen. Though I'm sure someone will be dumb enough to run them on a track... once.

 

damn, good luck those man.

 

good luck. i would never drive on cf wheels. u just never know about those potholes.

 

those wheels are sick but you know there is going to a couple idiots out there that will actually buy it and use it on the street.

 

great for a trailor queen. or king. odd.

 

those are awesome. wow. i need to hit the lotto

 

I'm gonna get scooba to do me a knockoff set.

 

I wouldn't doubt it so loudly, folks.

It's the 21st century. Anything is possible...ish.

as for the link that DrI provided, remember, those are for bikes, they weigh nearly next to nothing compared to cars.

 

A full CF rim would be incredably strong.......we use CF to build the Horizontal LIft flaps on 767 and 777 airplanes......the stress is super incredable on these parts to lift a plane off the ground........

A 1.4" thick piece of real CF is stronger than 1/4" of Titanium

Problem is how they are designed,CF is not really meant to be used in the fashion they chose.Those rims are probably made using a frame of some type and then layered in many wraps of CF.

See they used a dry CF application and dry CF is not as strong as impregnated format.

 

Baller. Does anyone want to split the cost of a set and then we can all just run 1?
