They finally have a wheel for release that will be allowed on the road, even though they only have one model of wheel at the moment. I was lucky enough to work at the engineering shop to machine up the inner and outer moulds for the wheel rim and machine up the little 7075 aluminium wheel nut inserts.

Hopefully they start making some that fit Skylines very soon.

Um.

Aventador has CF rims doesn't it?

[alex182]

na the Aventador doesnt have CF wheels. just normal forged ones

I think it has little CF panels stuck on though.

[Al Despo]

Do those panels have any other purpose other than a cosmetic look or...?

[Miguelone]

Looking at the angle of them I'd imagine they direct air into the brakes.

[wedge_r34gtr]

There for Brake cooling

wouldn't the cost outweigh any benefits?

[GTR-N1]

"But the benefits outweigh the cost!" says the thief.

I presume they're well secured with locknuts included in the purchase price?

The design is ugly as hell imo

[Noy]

These wheels have been many years in the making...

The first design was so so, a little boring BUT

They are just about to release there new design, I have seen there new design in the flesh and they are impressive.. much better styling

Mass production is not far away so keep checking for updates on there website.

The Carbon Revolution is coming.........

[FrakMunkie]

I can't wait to see them get "shattered" at ADR approval.

lol

[NYTSKY]

Koenigsegg's new Agera has carbon wheels which they make in house, they also have patents on it.

[Just Jap Racing]

Weds Sport Japan had these Dry Carbon wheels out on show at Tokyo Autosalon a few years back

[wedge_r34gtr]

now thats just pure car porn

[macdog]

fk... nice wheels, any idea on cost?

[mad082]

would be interesting to see how they handle. i think they would be different. i know it isn't really much of a comparison, but i've ridden on a few sets of full carbon bike rims and they are totally different to alloy rims. much stiffer/responsive
