Carbon Fibre Wheels and Carbon Fibre Rotors

Hey fellow e55 owners,

I have a w211 e55, and looking to reduce weight.
Anyone know of a vendor that has good prices on Carbon Fibre Wheels and Carbon Fibre Rotors that can ship to Australia cheap. The AUD isnt doing to well.

Tal@ACGAutomotive has given me a good price on a girodisc front and rear rotors, pads, stainless brake lines but I have been holding off until the AUD exchange rate gets better.

Carbon rotors and wheels with cheap shipping. Hmmmm. After spending $20-$25,000 for carbon wheels and carbon ceramic brakes the shipping shouldn't even matter.

Wut is this even a real question?

Edit: In the off chance, the OP isn't aware, many of the cheaper CF wheels are overlays on top of aluminum wheels. Only for appearance, nothing more. If you're looking for some light wheels look at spun cast and 1 piece forged wheels.
