The price of these must be insane. Imagine getting curb rash on these

Is this a form of spam? You ask about a wheel and provide a link that has nothing to do with the wheels. Oh, and the wheels are ugly.

Sorry, updated the link 
It's not really about the style, more about the concept because the style can be changed.

I think they use them on the SSC Ultimate Aero.
Whats great is that they are reducing unsprung weight. I've read that unsprung weight has a greater effect on driving dynamics than sprung weight. Even a 5 lb gain of sprung weight is, in a sense, better than 1 lb of unsprung weight. Obviously you wouldn't want to add weight at all, but if you had to
Until they mass market these, which I find hard to believe, the price seems too steep for anyone below a $700k budget.

Actually, CF wheels will have a significant impact in certain racing circuits, that's if they are ever safety tested and approved. In fact I heard our friends at SumoPower Racing are looking into these. (And yes, they are mostly made of CF composited with Scandium-Aluminium most likely... very $$$)
