So who's going to have the first set of these to show off at the Budweiser show?
A new set of revolutionary one-piece carbon fiber wheels developed by Australia’s Carbon Revolution. Built first for the Porsche 911, the 19x8.5 fronts (15.2 lbs) and 19x12 rears (17.8 lbs) save some ten pounds of unsprung weight per corner, delivering noticeable gains in acceleration, cornering and fuel economy.

Carbon Revolution claims the wheels reduce noise, vibration and harshness (NVH), too, since the carbon fiber material has natural damping properties. If there’s a downside, it’s the cost of a set of four, estimated to be $15,000.
Like the saying goes, “speed costs money, so how fast do you want to spend?”
