Thank you. They are a PIA to make but very cool when completed.

Darren, considering that they are considerably stronger than almn and magn one would assume they are not going to be a problem. Our roads here are not that good either. More construction than you can imagine. No problems as of yet.

Well, NY roads can't be any worse than Missouri roads. At least we are on the Kansas side...most of the time.

Wow, the whole car looks amazing. I love the pics, but thought they looked a bit dark, I hope you don't mind.

It is a 2 piece wheel. Barrel is carbon fiber, and the spokes are magnesium.

I love those wheels and have been thinking about getting a set for use on track, but was concerned about strength in street applications and have just found this article about them shattering on a Koeniggsegg after hitting an object:
