CF for a wheel is potentially a very flawed concept. I realize that this not the best place to discuss engineering but applications where there is significant risk for impact damage are not the best place for CF. Yes it is pretty.

As beautiful as those Dymag carbon rims are, I don't get what Oakley design has to do with them other than selling? Why are the referred to by the Oakley Design name if they even haven't bothered to re-label? Oakley Design seems to to this a lot with other products as well. Am I missing something?

BTW, I have the same color GT2 and was druelling over those rims at the Essen Motorshow recently.

That is the KEY, in silver. It's pretty heavy.

Almost like a Sheriff's badge.

The coolest key I ever held.

Aww, man, you didn't allow me the satisfaction of even a single "" response. Very cool key, very cool car...very cool indeed.

Dymag's are awesome. Oakley has nothing to do with them.
