Check them out and tell me what you think. Some one told me they are 30k for a full set...

[Auburnsky1287]

It would suck to curb one of those =(

[SEXICÄN]

hot wheels, but for 30k

[b7ftw]

LOL, thats like 6 lb per wheel... but $30K is rediculous... I didnt even pay that much for my car

maybe one day the price will come down to where its somewhat reasonable! tho I do question how much torque these wheels can handle, i can see a heavily modified car snapping these...

[RedS-line]

what size are those anyway?

[Cargo8]

they are about 8 k / wheel. Dymags.
They also take like 8-10 months to get. the spokes (centers) are usually painted

[4RingRook]

Those are sweet, but not $30k sweet.

[Cosworth]

I Have Been Eye F*&king These For Some Time Now... So Hott!!

[Audi Juice]

Ive handled them in person. You grab them expecting to feel the weight of a normal rim and they are so light you almost bonk yourself in the head with them

[Sharkfin]

Haha dang that's so light

[D.C. Designs]

yep there 8~10K and had horrible customer service since you always got to ship them over seas for repair

[klee]

I saw those on a porsche in the paddock at laguna seca for ALMS a couple weeks ago. almost missed them, did a double take. NOBODY else noticed them, they're so stealth.

It looks like that guy already dropped $8k+ on the PCCB brake option, so whats another 8

[cstarky15]

6lbs? you might fly away. they are ok, i wouldn't spend the dough on them though. I can't spend 3k on wheels so 10-30k is crazy. can't have wheels that are more than my car either.

[supamannn99]

i saw a set a GMG racing when i got my car chipped. they were so light that i thought they were fake.

[Subaru71]

amazing that they can make that hold a car up...

[Bigswede]

Swedish car manufacturer koenigsegg uses carbon wheels as a standard feature.


But at 589k's they should be ;-)

formula 1 cars run CF rims. i religiously watched f1 races for about 2 years and only saw 3 rims shatter...and all were due to crashes/offroading.

bitchin. i'll give ya fifty bucks for 'em

haha, thats pretty funny!

[swoardrider]

The Wedsports are full carbon, hence their 6lbs weight. The Dymags are magnesium centers with carbon fiber barrels. If I remember correctly, the Dymags run around 14lbs in Porsche sizes and run around $3k-$4k each.

[Zebman]

Genuine carbon fiber is more than strong enough to hold the car plus more. We're all accustomed to fiberglass with a layer of carbon fiber for decoration.

[evilgabbie]

what if they explode ?!

With wheels for 8k a pice i would also use five locking bults on each wheel!!

The hole car is in carbonfiber so why shouldnt the wheels get the same treatment :P

[gpultro]

people who get this have to much money

I would use 5 different style locking nuts on each wheel. Ha, that is ridiculous.

unless it's a GT2,GT3, or a turbo s (PCCB comes standard on these)

Also, no wheel locks, since these are meant to be track wheels, and you don't torque wheel locks!

I know PCCB doesn't come standard on the GT3, on the RS i think it does.
