im sure they arnt to everyones taste, but i definitely love them. they are 20"x9.5" modular concept carbon wheels with a black dish black rear barrel and color matched suzuka grey pin stripe. these are the rear wheels which have a 3.5" dish, which is why i had to include the obligatory last photo. spring cant come soon enough!

its cool...i didnt want structural carbon fiber wheels because of the PA roads...
and the fact that this isnt a track car. the only structural carbon wheels are dymags which i looked into getting but a single pothole would ruin my life.

Dymag and HRE claim that the strength of the CF barrels is greater than that of aluminum...
... but I just can't bring myself trust actual CF wheels just yet either. Plus, at $15K/set for just the wheels... well... that's quite a check to write for some wheels!

hehe well thats probably true but if your scrape them or that strength gets tested you are f'ed...
dont get me wrong these weren't cheap either but at least the rim is only paint. btw dymag makes the carbon barrel for hre.
