Looks nice. Can you post some sample weights?


CF wheels are supposed to be about 1/2 the weight of metal (at least based on the Mustang GT350R wheels).

Big fan of a few of those designs - just not a big fan of the price!

Is there any way to repair them if God forbid you inadvertently rubbed a curb? Or are you forced to buy a new wheel?

20" x 9" weigh approximately 18.3 lbs. 20" x 10" weigh approximately 19.4 lbs.

These wheels are 2-piece construction; CF barrels with a forged aluminum center. We do have 100% carbon fiber 1-piece wheels that are much lighter, but they are a bit more expensive. We're also close to finishing our 100% carbon fiber 3-piece wheels.

Depending on the severity of the curb rash, the barrels and/or face can be refinished. If needed we can provide replacement barrels, faces, and hardware for the wheels.

The Koncept CF Super 52's are awesome! Too bad I would have to sell of most of vital organs to purchase them.

Great design

Much appreciated! For clarification, pricing on our site reflects a set of 4 wheels. Plus there is Black Friday coming up...hint hint.

Julie,


So you are saying that the price for all 4 wheels is the price that shows when you leave the quantity at 1 vs. changing it to 4?


If that is the case then that is much more inline to what I was hoping for!


After you said this I did see this further down the page. But I would make this a lot more clear since this doesn't appear this way in your shopping cart.


Looking forward to Black Friday price points!


Thanks

How wide of barrels can you go? You have 9 and 10 "... Do you have anything larger in say 12 or 13"?

We went ahead and added the notation that pricing is for a set of 4 when you select the wheel diameter. This will also be shown in the shopping cart and through checkout. We are catering to the luxury and exotic market, but there's no way we would price these at $6K per wheel.

What type of testing have the wheels gone through? Any certifications?

We currently have 8.5", 9", 9.5", and 10" barrels. We have plans for wider barrels in the near future. If you absolutely need something wider than 10" we'd be happy to discuss a custom built order. Thanks.

These wheels are VIA tested and TUV certified.

The Score 10 pic above shows the wheel installed with tires. Here's a photoshop of the Swift 5 on a GLA. We just debuted the wheels and are hoping to have official pics on a vehicle soon.
