    Got an extra $15,000 lying around for some cool wheels?

    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?”

    But not at those sizes. Biggest Draglite they list on the Weld website are 15x15 and they're 18 lbs.
    But I agree, they either need to be on a tuner or Exotic. They don't look like "muscle". 'Course if you're able and willing to drop 15k on wheels you probably don't give a rat's ass what anyone thinks -- you're the trend-setter, not the follower.

    If you have 15k to drop on Pork Fried Ricer wheels you should make a really big donation to ED DAY
