Hello, been doing a little searching and am wondering if anyone can point me towards a nice set of Carbon Fiber spoked wheels. I like the 8-10 spoke look and dont think I'd want to wrap. I was reading somewhere and it was saying that a wheel made entirely of CF wouldn't be safe to use as driving wheels, just show. So in that case I'd like just the spokes CF. More specifically, Id like to have the spokes CF, the lip/bolts white to match paint and the entire inside bay black. Please help.

I had a feeling wrap was going to be the best solution. Im just worried about the wrap itself. Is it worth the trouble to get it wraped? I've seen plenty of pictures and videos having it done, but not much on how it lasts.
I guess I should just go with a nice black wheel with white accents, for some reason I just can't wrap my head around wraping vinyl on my wheels just for looks (no pun intended).

... I told you carbon fiber finish on a forged wheel. The wheel isnt carbon fiber it and much better than a stupid vinyl wrapped wheel.

I think You mean H&R springs.
If I were to order new wheels at the moment, I would go this way:
- Rear: 10J x 19" ET50 (or higher)
- Front: 9J x 19" ET40
(aggressive offset).
It all depends on the wheel design - whether it's monoblock or 3-piece, reverse lip or step lip or no lip, concave or flat.
What's you budget? 19" wheel prices can vary from $1600 a set for cast wheels to $6500 for forged multi-piece wheel.

That would be something like we have with out FMS-05 wheel! Budget in that size is there, polished lips, it can be done without a problem! Here's is what it looks like on a CLS550 we did a few months ago.
