Honestly, I don't know much about materials, but isn't CF prone to cracking? If so, wouldn't these things be a very expensive headache?
|
I would assume these would only be used for a couple of laps in a time attack.
|
note it says DRY CARBON...........
|
It all depends... they're claiming it as a somewhat newish technology and I'm guessing they have to make it up to a certain standard... especially to avoid a lawsuit of any sort. I'm not up to date on the technologies so I dont know if this could avoid these issues... how new is this concept? Anyone more informed able to help explain the process they're using?
|
how many of my organs would i have to sell...
|
no matter what the price is, they actually look great!
|
I want.
|
mmmmmmmmm....I don't know about that....something about a carbon wheel makes me feel uneasy.
|
Very awesome, I want....
Then I think about the wheels shattering when they hit something. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK! |
Those are hot! I bet they put a super rezin to keep the carbon strength up to with stand the shock of bumps, etc.. .... hate to curb rash them,expensive to fix i bet?!
|
lol, they're probably a couple grand per rim. It should be a crime if you curb rash them.

i took the survey we'll see. SInce i prolly won't be able to afford them i'll convince my dad to get a set for his bimmer and live vicariously through him.
|
yeh someone find out how much these are... and how nasty it would be to curb them :SHOCKED:
|
probably as expensive as buying an entire new rx8.
curb rash will result in the wheel needing replacement no doubt. hitting a pothole that would usually give a regular rim a dent will totally kill these rims. think of how much care is put into the removal of the CF driveshaft on our rx8's... in the service manual one sentences spans 6 pages.. "OMG FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON'T SCRATCH IT!" |

Lots of ifs there tho. |
hmmm sell my other car and put down payment on house... or... buy rims... life is so hard
|
Gimmie good old metal and steel anyday.
I'll let someone else be the guinea pig with a new technology. |
With all the CF overlays today, I'm surprised someone has not done it yet. Cheaper with the look and not the worry of cracking a wheel.
