  | Weds Sport Full Carbon Fiber Wheel  A Japanese company by the name of Weds Sport has come up with the first full carbon fiber wheel. They unveiled the wheels with what they call their Dry Carbon Wheel Project at the last Tokyo Auto Salon show. One wheel weighs in at just 2.76kg, which works out to be 6.08475844 pounds. Interested in getting a set of these for your car? Expect to pay around $10,000-$12,000 for the set. While it sounds expensive, you can easily spend $8,000+ on custom three-piece forged wheels from a company like HRE.   carbonfibergear

| Re: Weds Sport Full Carbon Fiber Wheel That's very light but how strong and durable is the rim?? I mean, there is something called curbs, potholes and driving a car hard on track. |
