I agree... get these carbon black wheels! In addition to looking cool, they are probably much lighter than typical forged wheels.

go with lowenhart LSR they are a bit pricey but look the best, the chrome look better than the black. I personally like the original AMG spoke and actually just ordered a set for my car.

Check That Website... I believe they're around $7k w/o tires.

Remember They are only Carbon on the outside The spokes are Aluminum under the skin...

Still these are very light forged wheels like mine... That is what you want. Stay away from the really big names... Those wheels are overpriced Clunkers suitable for boat anchors.

If it where in fact a solid carbon center for a 4,000 + lb car I wouldn't trust it... Not at these prices. Maybe @ $7k per wheel!

Best,
