Carbon Fiber Rims

armensti · 07-02-2009, 05:22 AM

so are there any available for the z? if not what are your toughs on them?

so far i have only seen a set that HRE makes but im not sure if they can go on the z

With the right offsets, it will fit on the Z.

Modular Concepts have CF rims..... They look pretty neat.

Dymag Wheels should have an application that will fit the Z. $$$ though.. DYMAG - Manufacturers of High Performance Wheels for Cars and Motorcycles

Carbon Fiber rim with a magnesium center section. Ridiculously light.. a 3 year old could pick them up.

There aren't many manufacturers that offer a real carbon fiber wheel like Dymag does, but there are a few that offer the carbon fiber look.

I know iForged came out with an option for their wheels to be wrapped in real carbon fiber, but it is still wrapped around aluminum so its just for looks.

Modular concepts just have CF spokes. Inserts I beleive.

And the lip can be CF also I think

how safe is CF in a wheel tho ??

Josh@STILLEN · 07-02-2009, 11:43 AM

Depends on the maker I'm sure. Dymag is used in motorsports all over the place, and are extremely reliable.

Weds had a cf wheel that weighed 6lbs for a 19''x10?
