How are these wheels 1 piece if those are truly CF spokes? They seem like 2-3 piece but regardless, CF might be strong but it can't take blunt forces like potholes.

the centers are not pure carbon

the wheel is 2 piece forged aluminum and the centers are overlayed with cf by hand in Italy

***edit - they are 3 piece

Yeah, the ones with the pure carbon spokes are twice as much

wouldnt say rice.. but i never like the way anorexically thin rims look on the g, nor would i trust the durability of them unless it was from a reputable manufacturer.

Anorexically thin for sure!!!

I like my women with some meat on their bones!!!

If you were going to sport some slotted/cross drilled rotors and pretty calipers, it would do the trick.
