In the new Popular Hot Rodding magazine, they have a blurb on Autovelocity carbon fiber wheels. They have magnesium centers, and their 18" x 10.5" wheel only weighs 8 lbs, and is twice as strong as a Z06 wheel! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
That'd be nice for our cars, another 48 lbs of rotating mass in addition to the static mass savings! Too bad they are $1,500 a piece! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) |
