have you seen the new o1's??? carbon fibre wheels!! does anybody know if these are lighter than the volk's / Grams wheel? Cause i heard VOLK was the lightest on the market

 

Interesting. How about a pic and a link or two? And maybe the complete name of the manufacturer?

 

o1designsystem.com, i'm not too computer literate and am not able to do links, sorry...

 

Ok, site is http://www.01designsystem.com/

Wheels cost $1490 for a set.

And here's a shot of the wheel...

 

They are local here in Miami, I have spoken to them and I think I remember them being 19lbs for the 18".

They were bringing out a new design which would be lighter. These it seems are more show than go, but then at the price... not too shabby

 

I like the idea and I've seen them in person at car shows

IMO they dont look too good in person

 

I think they're ok... but to me, it wouldn't be worth it without a considerable weight savings.

So FYI, I called them today to see how much they weighed, and was told the 18x8 is about 19 Lbs. Not that huge a savings.

 

I thought I said that

And I think they're 18x7.5 :p

 

LOL, yup, you did. Guess it would help if I read and absorbed what you wrote! D'oh! :D

 

Thanks for the info, I thought they look good but would be lite as hell!! Well then there's the price....Guess you gotta pay for the good things in life-lightweight
