And it's the Agera that has the CF wheels, and I HIGHLY doubt the US has any of them yet

It wasn't an Agera

Don't be a poser, get the real deal if you want to rock CF

This was something I spotted a few months ago

I've seen that car in the parking lot of Boeing a few times. And I 100% agree, you can't wrap in CF cause Ill make fun of you. And no one wants that.

you can get monoblock or multi-piece wheels laid with carbon through Auto Explosion

Here's from from a G35 on a set of HREs

According to the reddit thread, a set of carbon fiber wheels will run you $15k (lmao)

If you just want the look you can also just get them hydro dipped in carbon fiber film then clearcoat it and it will be as solid as your paint.

that's what I suggested

Who does this hydro dipping? How does the price compare to powder coating?

Maybe cheaper, but once you clear coat, probably the same.
You'll have to google places local to you

But they really aren't comparable... You can get a lot of weird/random patterns and such with hydro dipping while PC will just give you more of a "paint" finish
