Carbon Fiber Wheels- Ideal Price?

vividracing · 09-23-2015, 06:09 PM

definitely interested to see what you come up with, there has been a lot of hype behind some huge wheel brands in the recent past but they just couldn't bring it all together for production. Hopefully you can make this happen, if not I'll take a blem unit to make one hell of a coffee table.

Will be curious as well, but I wouldn't use my new M4 as a test vehicle. If you have the space and $$, just get an old car that you don't care much about. You'll still be able to test the same structural abilities of the wheel without putting a $60-80k car at risk - damage of breaking a wheel could be extensive: rotors, underbody, exterior body panels from wheel parts - and this is before you crash into something/someone

Just get an E36 325i and have fun with it

My carbon fiber wheels from 360 Forged were about $8000 for the set and that didn't include tires. Probably a bit overpriced but I am incredibly pleased with the quality of the build and the finish. The weight savings aren't bad either!

Your wheels look great! 360 forged offered these in a carbon fiber overlay for an additional cost rather than a true complete carbon fiber construction, this seems to be one of the only options for a CF finish on the market currently, but may be different than the product the OP is mentioning.

You went to Harvard and still struggle with plural vs possessive punctuation? Sorry, not trying to be a jerk, just couldn't leave it unmentioned.

Weight savings from what?
It is just an overlay on the wheels so if anything they add weight?!

Samsung likes to put words in my mouth when i'm typing via cell phone. Such is life.

If I cared about you being a jerk, it would mean that I inherently care about what people on the internet say. Which, mirroring you (not to be a jerk), I don't.

So 'tis all good.
