Carbon Fiber Wheels..

Didn't think it possible. This company apparently has been making these since 2007? Less noise - half the weight. Sorry if repost - did search and only found folks talking about roofs and steering wheels

interesting, no one has any comments on this?

Seems like they'd lose structural integrity fairly quickly if it took a side hit. Carbon fiber is pretty brittle to impact. (rocks and road debris) I wouldn't spend the money. (I've worked 16 years in composites.) Including building carbon fiber parts for the F-22 Raptor and F-35.
* I also didn't watch the video.. I'll check it out later and post again.

I mean, if it's good enough for the 488 Pista and GT350R as factory options (those are the vehicles they make the wheels for). Also Koenigsegg makes their own.

Yeah.... well they must know something aerospace doesn't.
