Do they use the same F1 technology as Weds? These are full carbon fibre wheels (2.7kg each)

Its a difficult choice - buy a set of 4 carbon wheels or spend the money on 2 FTOs!

If I could afford these wheels I woldn`t driving a FTO as a daily car, that`s for sure

nice and very rare mod for some track/show car.

Imagine declaring them as modifications on a Quinn Direct insurance policy!

I think no matter what the premium you'd be kind of inclined to go for it. $12k is a lot for wheels. $4k a corner + tyres. |Phew|

Actually I wonder how easy they could be curbed... all in all these wheels suppose to be harder than steel... and also could be filled by reisin/sanded/polished

Tensile strength Density Specific strength
Carbon fibre 3.50 1.75 2.00
Steel 1.30 7.90 0.17

Carbon Fibre wins.

I think I'd rather buy a couple of these instead, the novelty factor is huge:

That`s equipment for real car enhusiasts VIP I`d say :lol:

But it`s not complete yet... This is a perfect xmas present for an owner of carbon fibre toilet
