Only a finish.

^Agreed...

If I had a GTR Spec V... I MAY consider these wheels. That type/price range car is worthy IMO; not a Z.

Imagine if you bought a carbon fiber wheel and one day curbed it.

I'd have to shoot the first person I saw in the face.

I wonder how CF stands up to that.

I'm sure the resin would crack and spider web. Instead of scratches and gashes, you'd have nasty Carbon fiber twill just dangling in the wind if you curbed it.

This is the only company I am aware of that have taken their product to market

Carbon Revolution.

Only available for Porsche and I believe the new McLaren.

Price tag is about 15-16k for the set.

GaleForce · 03-13-2013, 12:01 PM

15k!

REAL Carbon Fiber are insanely expensive. Companies offer a carbon fiber wrap over the center piece of multi piece wheels but the overall structure of the wheel is still made of steel. TRUE carbon fiber wheels have no steel at all causing them to be so much more. If anybody gets them on the Z would be a huge surprise considering the wheel set would be close to half what a used 370z goes for lol

HRE is bringing back their carbon fiber wheels (formerly they were partnered with Dymag, who made the barrels and HRE made the centers and the designs). Dymag went out of business back in late 2009/early 2010, so HRE could no longer produce the wheels.

Carbon - Coming Soon
