I'm sure that I'm in the minority but I think that carbon fiber is ugly anywhere it is used. If I had any on/in my car I'd paint it.

I agree. Don't like the look. Can only imagine the cost of those wheels. Not for me.

Just to offset some of the not-so-positive comments.

I think it's a unique design and I'm sure there's people out there that love it.

Also, from this pic and ones from the website, the quality looks great.

Great wheels.
Would buy them if I could afford them which I can't.

They look pretty, but they seem to weigh a lot for carbon fibre? really lame if those are just carbon fibre wrapped...along the lines of vinyl carbon fibre stickers for the interior, and the fake sunroofs and fake amg badges.

I'd prefer Dymag (sp?) rims.

I read somewhere on their site that the CF adds to the strength of the wheel. I kinda like the look of the wheels alone, but I'm not sure how it would look on the car. Plus they cost a ton.
