[slostang]

jeezus.

:jerkit:

[The BUCKY]

ordered them last week. figured they would match well

[EJ_Allmota]

WTF, they can keep that ****..

[green91]

Those are HOT. It would suck to curb them though lol.

[EJ25RUN]

i really wonder how strong they are. I mean Weds is under RAYS which ranks at the very top but why hasn't an all carbon fiber wheel ever been put on the race track. Price is no object so there must be something else and the only thing i can look at is strenght.

[mocha latte cupcake]

epic win! but ouch on the price. not something i would ever track but certainly something i would rock :D

[SiRed94]

not bad... i might order a couple of sets...

[dumpdaccord]

imagine these on a hb or an si....they already steal the hell out of these $5k cars...imagine w/ $12k wheels:headslap::hanged:


then the knockoffs:lmfao:

Dynamag has been making carbon wheels for a while, and if I had to guess I would say that they are probably making these. Zipp Speed Weaponry our of Indiana made carbon wheels for cars at one point to, I think they were just center lock though.

True, Dynamag makes them for cars, but only in the smaller sizes. We tried to order a set, and they couldn't make them in a 19x15 for us that we needed.

don't you want your wheels light FOR the track?

[green91]

When rota makes a copy ill buy a set

[Cool Cat Racing]

don't you want your wheels light FOR the track?
Yes you want light wheels but the dynamics on a track are a little different than on a street car. Constant curb hits, offs, tire changes, things like that. I just have a hard time seeing CF rims be practical for even those teams with the money. That's a good bit of test time they could get just to replace the wheels. Many tracks can be rented for an entire weekend for that kind of money, which do you think will make the car faster.
