i think you guys are confusing the run of the mill cf parts for our cars with these wheels. its better to compare this wheel to the carbon fiber hardtop roof made for the s2k, or the doors that are made for the s2k and 350z. only these are probably much stronger than any of those parts. there is a difference in types of carbon fiber, wet and dry, and within each of those categories are 2 more categories as to how its constructed. the strongest and lightest is dry carbon and i believe there is high pressure vaccum and low pressure vac methods. think of the keonisegg (whatever that car is) thats made of entirely CF, you think that stuff will break with somethin small, of course not. theres a rfeason these wheels cost so much.

sorry for the rant, it just brought me back to looking at my boys CF hood for his srt-4 and at close inspectionm it was a layer of wet CF basically layed ontop of a thin peice of aluminum to give it the look. thats not the point of CF!
