Key in weight savings is it being reasonably cheap to do ;-)

Been around for a while now. Not a good option for heavy cars, but great for lightweight ones.

Due to liability alone, I seriously doubt Dymag would release them for sale unless they were confident in the design.

And IIRC, the new Koenigsegg CCX has CF wheels as a cost option.
