Carbon Fiber wrap wheels
 
Anyone on the forum ever wrap their stock rims in the CF wrap? Just curious.

Never seen it myself

Probably not the beat idea since it will peel off in the elements

Why would it peel off from the elements? The stuff is meant for exterior use. Hell I have has my front fangs, side mirrors, hood, roof, and a partial rear spoil for over a year. No peel and looks just as it was when it when on.

The only concern would be conforming it to the concaves and convexs of the wheels. It will flex pretty far with some heat applied, but sticking at severe curves and/or not creasing would be what I would think would be its draw back....

Wheels are much different and will be subject to brake dust and dirt more than any other part

It would be a PITA to keep clean

You can hydro dip them

Betting this will not end up looking good in 6 months if you do it. Seems like too much effort for too little return.

I still say drop the money for the real CF Wheels if your into em. Me personally, I think it has to be on the right car, with all the right mods to look correct.

CF wheels? I didn't know there was such a thing. Talk about a super expensive disaster waiting to happen.

CF barreled wheels are stupidly expensive, CF spoked wheels, about as much as Rays


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

I actually saw one of those things in Fairfax not too long ago and did a double take

A Koeniggsegg?
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

Fairfax VA on the main drag into Tyson's (whatever that road is)
