Re: carbon rims!

They're not carbon wheels. They are aluminum wheels with a thin CF layer on top. You're better off buying a forged wheel that's lighter and stronger than these cast ones. These are all bling, no performance.

Re: carbon rims!

yeah they are more for show. they are pretty heavy for how much they cost. but that would be pretty cool to say i have carbon fiber wheels.

Re: carbon rims!

Don't like 'em. They don't look good at all. That would be a good looking wheel if it was just black, but the carbon fiber is really cheesy looking on the wheels.
