Carbon Revolution – The world’s first one piece carbon fiber wheel for automotive.
 

Dear 6 Speed Members,

It is good to be back I am a former sponsor and member.

I wanted to introduce Carbon Revolution, the company that I have recently joined.

After years of research and development, Australian based Carbon Revolution has succeeded in solving one of the last remaining holy grails of the industry - A full one-piece carbon fiber wheel.

The entire wheel structure is molded as a single piece utilizing high end composite materials, currently built in sizes 19x8.5 (15.4lb) & 19x12 (17.9lb) and designed to mount directly on Porsche 911's. The wheels are compatible with factory tire pressure monitoring systems, accept factory center caps and come complete with all required installation hardware.

The wheels are 40% -50% lighter than premium OEM equivalents made from Aluminum. Carbon Revolution has used specialised wheel testing laboratories and testing tracks around the world to ensure that the most rigorous standards imposed by European OEMs have been tested for.

These products are high tech works of art, but then the performance advantages are the best value tuning to be bought for any vehicle. The manufacturing process is highly efficient and controllable. It has merged the rigor of aerospace processes with the efficiency and control of high volume automotive production.

Amongst the team are ex-OEM senior engineers from chassis development and drive train roles, senior manufacturing executives from world leading automotive component suppliers, R&D specialists from leading aircraft manufacturers, industrial composites manufacturing specialists and numerous PhD's with world leading materials and structures knowledge.

Carbon Revolution wheels will improve the performance of your car in many ways. Bolting on a set of lightweight CR-9 wheels is equivalent to:

· Adding horse power to the engine (increased acceleration)
· Increasing the size of the brakes (shorter stopping distances)
· Fitting stickier tires (improved grip)
· Upgrading your suspension (steering and handling improvements)
· Adding more sound insulation to the vehicle (Reduced road noise)
· Reduced vehicle mass (fuel savings)

Carbon Revolution wheels will be sold through select Specialty Tire & Wheel retailers, performance tuners and high end boutique car dealerships worldwide.


This is a remarkable and unique new technology and now there is the opportunity to experience it for yourselves.

What kind of warranty comes with these and have you done any real world stress testing on these?

Weight savings is only as good as reliability for street applications more importantly.

Are these going to be 15k a set like the other companys?

Those are cool. I like the look of the CF and I like the style. What are the offsets of the first sizes? Are they designed for narrow-body cars or wide-body cars?

Offset will accomodate both narrow and wide body applications.

We have tested all over the world with european and U.S testing centers.

We have done real world filed trials in europe and the U.S please visit our website for an indepth look at testing and videos.
