And Fairfax......... In Los Angeles?

And it's the Agera that has the CF wheels, and I HIGHLY doubt the US has any of them yet

It wasn't an Agera

Now if you ball so hard and you've got a spare... 2-3 Million you can have a Koeniggsegg that has hollow CF spoked wheels and CF barrels

yea the ones I have pictured I am 85% sure its their regular wheels with amazingly done CF overlays

"I'm sorry sir, you curbed your carbon fiber rim and cracked it. That will be $2000 for a replacement"

Don't be a poser, get the real deal if you want to rock CF

This was something I spotted a few months ago

I've seen that car in the parking lot of Boeing a few times. And I 100% agree, you can't wrap in CF cause Ill make fun of you. And no one wants that.

you can get monoblock or multi-piece wheels laid with carbon through Auto Explosion

According to the reddit thread, a set of carbon fiber wheels will run you $15k (lmao)

If you just want the look you can also just get them hydro dipped in carbon fiber film then clearcoat it and it will be as solid as your paint.

Who does this hydro dipping? How does the price compare to powder coating?

Maybe cheaper, but once you clear coat, probably the same.
You'll have to google places local to you

But they really aren't comparable... You can get a lot of weird/random patterns and such with hydro dipping while PC will just give you more of a "paint" finish
