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) |

that's great... and price is reasonable for the weight savings.
Some pix would be cool. saving 15lbs on each wheel is cool. Now... might as well find the lightest tires to go on them to really benefit from it. Yoko A032R are 33lbs each. So finding a tire that is around 20lbs would be great. |
