As long as you don't make a habit of driving on roads that have potholes, you should be OK. Carbon delaminates in UV when not painted, so be careful.

4times stronger...uh, no...not really, but very light.

Best of luck with them, they are magnificent. And please don't say how much...really...

Be good,

Awesome! I really need to get a set, those things are amazing.

What size did you get with a 14 lb weight? 17"?

18 x 8.5" = 15.2 lbs
18 x 10" = 16.0 lbs
19 x 9" = 16.6 lbs
19 x 12" = 19.7 lbs
