dry carbon wheel,
supposedly 6 lbs. each.

i know... just a pipe dream.
but could be nice, eh?

 

dry carbon

how strong can these be with potholes ?
they do look great though

 

i can not even imagine the tag on those!

 

i bet it'll get destroyed the first day on the streets.
but i'm no cf expert so not so sure...

 

Who makes this wheel? If it's a Dymag it is not 6 lbs.
I have Dymags on the GT3 and have been fine for street use. Now you must apply some level of common sense and watchout what you go over.
The fronts(19x9) are 16 lbs and rears(19x12) are 18 lbs. The 6 lbs claim is pretty steep, hell the forged center should be more than that.

 

aren't they a 10k hit... i stil love them i looked at them couple years ago for the 996 gt3 they have been making race wheels for bike for quite some time they are very nice

 

16lb fronts and 18lb rears are CRAZY!

was there any seat of pants change with performance of the car

 

If it really is 6lbs, I don't believe it will hold up. A general rule of thumb is that properly designed carbon fiber composite part can weight about 1/3 less than a properly designed aluminum part....I can't imagine a 10lb aluminum wheel that would ever hold up.

 

Stunning.

Any more pix? Who is the manufacturer? Thanks!

 

dynamag they are sweet

i think gt3ranger has them

 

I don't think that is a dymag wheel. Must be some other manufacturer.

 

hmm i dont know who else is building i will start looking!!!!!!!!!

 

I read somewhere that CEC is now making carbon wheels. Maybe this is one of them?

 

Hey guys I've posted these pics before but some may have not seen them so here are some pics:

I apologize for all the pics but I don't know how to delete and the wife was not around.
The most noticeable improvement from the Dymags is the braking. So much less pedal effort needed. The car had other performance mods done relatively simultaneously (headers/race exhaust, LWFW and cup suspension) so acceleration and handling are hard to isolate to the Dymags.
I will say I love these wheels. I really believe they are worth it, not just for looks but performance. Ask Fabryce @ GMG, he has telemetry from the track and precise proof of the wheels performance value.
For giggles I weighed the GT3 at the track scales 2 weeks ago and w/ 3/4 tank of gas it weighed 3,125 lbs. I guess that's okay.

Cheers guys,
GT3Ranger

 

people say that if done right cf can be stronger than steel, im sure there should not be a problem
