Does Anyone Know What This Is??

IT'S THE BADDEST WHEEL COMBO EVER!!

Hey Guys, Just wanted to share a set up we've recently completed for a customer. This is the first set we've done with carbon face, lip and inner barrel. We'll post some more pics once installed on the car. We're pretty exited about it so let us know what you think. Thanks

It's actually real carbon fiber hand over-layed onto the aluminum wheel. There's no weight savings but is a pretty light wheel though. A 19" weighs about 22 pounds.

those look great. the quality appears to be excellent with the closeup. i'm also impressed that you did the carbon on the inside of the wheel barrel - i don't think i have seen that done before

We are the first to do a carbon inner barrel. The wheel looks amazing in person. Thanks for your comments.

Carbon fiber looks great, but as far as having it on the inner barrell.....I feel for the person who has to balance them the second time.

I wasn't implying there would be balancing issues, I was speaking from the point of view of the person who has to remove the old weights very carefully, and clean off all the old tape adhesive/residue. Sorry for not being clear, can't wait for pics of them on the car, should look incredible.

Yea the weights might be a bit tough. I would not want any sticky residue on my set!
