our formula SAE team had considered using carbon fiber wheels about 3 years ago, but we scrapped the project because the wheels could not be made stiff enough for competition, they could not be made strong enough for competition (carbon fiber breaks rather than bending. we considered this to be very detrimental), and they could not be made cost effectively enough for competition.
for show, it's an intriguing idea, but you couldn't pay me enough to race a car equipped with those wheels.
