I've seen wheels with real carbon fiber spokes, but a WHOLE carbon fiber wheel sounds kinda dangerous to me. If i can stab through a CF hood with a knife, i dunno if i can trust the 3k lbs of my car with it plus an impact from hitting a curb etc...

I remember watching Unique Whips where they installed a set of rims on a ferrari that costs 50k.

The wheels look sweet. And at 6lbs each, it would make our cars feel lively

But, 12k??? No thanks.

Wonder how much abuse they can take before one cracks.
