Sure looks good, but I wonder how well the carbon fiber holds up after a few thousand, or tens of thousands of, miles? I worry about what all that shock does to the fiber.

No knowledge myself, just a concern. I'll be looking forward to hear what the long term results are.

Thanks for your concern, trust me when I tell you - we've put these wheels through some insane testing prior to releasing them. We have a finish test which consists of a Salt Spray 100 hour non stop drenching of salt water being sprayed on the wheel to test the finish, aside from that we also test the wheels on our cars and have had the CF5ive on the RSC 997tt for almost 2 years now - including multiple track events, and road trips.

So far no issues whatsoever, the CF is bonded to the wheel with a resin material and vacuum bagged on to the wheel to remove al the air inside and bond the CF to the wheel. The only real way to get it off would be to actually chisel it off in little pieces. Pretty impressive!
