The carbon fiber look is pretty nice. I would be interested. I will never pay 5k for a set of rims. 2k would be about my limit for any rims. Let us know how many you need to sell to get us a deal. If you treat people good here, the word will spread. Just ask Luke of Lindsay Cadillac. 19's are fine with me. Although I don't know if that limits tire selection.
Oh yeah, Welcome aboard!

$800 a rim is doable. $1600 not so much for me.
10k for rims?!? You must be a rapper or a wigger.

Because these wheels are new and the first of their kind, the profit margains aren't as large like most wheels companies. I am already offering the largest discount to the members of the board in hopes of getting some of these wheels on the road. If we got like 5 orders together I might be able to get the company to give a little more of a discount. Of course pricing all depends on the sizes everyone is interested in.

Thanks for the welcome

Re: New Carbon Fiber wheels - Opinions welcome

Those wheels do look nice but I could never roll on faux carbon fiber centers.

What wheels do you offer in 18" sizes for the V?
I believe lots of people here would want some upgraded 18's which would be compatible with the performance tires we like to run.

As far as the wheel's, in my personal opinion they look too much like tweels.

Re: New Carbon Fiber wheels - Opinions welcome

One bad thing about CF... when it fails, it does so catastrophiclly. See Airbus taking off from Laguardia a few years ago (hint: tail came off). The problem is, if there are internal flaws, you wont be able to see them, and you'll find out the hard way.

They are beautiful wheels btw.

Edit: Nevermind, I just saw that post that said they are aluminum wheels with CF covering. Thats just dress-up. I wouldnt pay that kind of loot unless it increased performance significantly, but if you're more in to looks, the V can definitely back them up.

Re: New Carbon Fiber wheels - Opinions welcome

Hey everyone

Wanted to give you a quick update. We took a ride down to 360 forged on thursday and they have 2 new designs coming out very soon. All of these wheels are available with or w/o the carbon fiber. W/O the carbon fiber is slightly cheaper. We should have some pics up of the new designs within the next few days!

Thanks!

Re: New Carbon Fiber wheels - Opinions welcome

CF Wheels, Hmmmmm...

True Unsprung weight can save you millisec in a race but in real life its a pain to maintain and keep in operatin condition...If you were to hit a pot hole better get another wheel for it will wrap...On light motorcycles its possible for they are light, compensate for the weight of the car and put in the stresses from G forces will lead to you ownin a Cf factory and constantly making new wheels...

Just my two cents, They will look WICK SICK and i bet you will be remembered..I was with my rims...Enkei NT03+M...
