So I was shooting the S*&t with my friends and someone mentioned something about a C.F. wheels. I did a little research online and came up with this:
http://www.carzi.com/2008/10/01/carbon-fiber-wheels/

Apparently the C.F. market has been changing. Wanted to see what people were thinking of these. They are expensive now running 5-10k per wheel but will get cheaper as time goes on and maybe just maybe I can put them on my RS.

I clicked the link, saw the bikini models, and got side tracked

carbon fiber is used to earthquake reinforce buildings and parking garages so I'm sure on wheels its fine. It does have fatigue rates so I don't know I'd do it on a daily driver unless I was a mad baller. But for track use it seems like it will have a future.

I'd think with molds and new vacuum and try molding technologies it'd be useable. Hell a company I was working with to do my hoods when I was a honda guy makes aircraft parts. Landing gear and what not.

I wouldn't expect prices to come down much as demand just isn't high for things like that.

I see no wheels. I see T&A. Maybe it's the wrong link?

I'm be skeptical of their ability to withstand heat in the long run. Especially a couple years down the road, as the polymers in the resins starts breaking down from age.

oooooooo imagine the cost on curb rash repair?? Probably would have to replace the whole wheel. Concave CF wheels could be badass.
