Carbon Fiber wheels?
I have seen these wheels for atvs and some small race cars but can these be made for the sl's? I am just thinking they should be super light and very strong but can one make the entire wheel out of this? I have seen some 10x15 wheels weight 6lbs so even if you double the weight that would be a 12-15lb wheel. Any ideas or info.

I have True/Full Carbon-Fiber wheels on my Kawasaki ZX-9.......they were made by Dymag and cost 4500 for the pair 8 years ago.
Somebody out there has full carbons for your car.........I am sure. Good hunting..........

i think neez makes only magnesium wheels.
dymag makes cf wheels, only the lip is cf, the spokes are magnesium.
from what i heard they are not good for every day use. and they are very expensive, about $10,000 a set. youre better off getting some ccw's, hre's etc...
