Are there any in a 4 lug pattern available anywhere? I'd love some like these with the middle spokes painted body color!

Now these have a different look. Any ideas on how they will hold up for everyday driving ? Post some pics if you get them on your car.

 

I could only imagine how expensive those would be.

 

Looks like Dymag is only making these in 18", 19" and 20" so far. Of course, the 18" is only 13.2 pounds, which is amazing. Makes me wonder what a 15" carbon-fiber/magnesium wheel would weigh (and cost).

 

oh yesss..... 8700usd for a set of 19"

 

a set on a Porsche 997S.... HOT!!

 

$8700 actually sounds about right. The Marchesini rims for my motorcycle are about $2500 for the pair, and they're just magnesium (no carbon fiber). Plus the bike rims are only 17" X 3.5" and 17" X 5.5".

 

how are the spokes connected to the CF rim? very cool.

 

I can see these failing spectacularly at highway speeds+ after some pot hole.

 

O_o beautiful Porsche! And I love the CF splitter!

 

... whisk broom and dustpan hanging on the wall behind the car so that the owner can quickly sweep up the CF shards from the garage floor after curbing the wheels on the way home from the pub.

 

The wheels are actually very strong... I saw a pic (stress test i think) where the center broke out and the CF looked flawless. They had an aluminum rim next to it broke in half.

Kechan, probably similar to what they do with CF/Alum MTN bikes... embed a "dovetail" type joint. The CF epoxy eats away he aluminum tho, magnesium... I have no idea.

 

goin440, your sig picture intrigued me, so i checked your gallery and i love those gold wheels! very nice car.
