Default Carbon Fibre wheels - 6kg !

These were being promoted at the PCGB festival last month.
Are they the dogs bollocks even at £3500 a set ?

Saw them at a track day about a month ago, really nice work. If I have spare money to throw at my Boxster these are on the shopping list.

Those are bad. I can see them becoming more and more common on cars as the production ramps up and the cost comes down. Not for me though. I like some shine.

i'am just curious to see how they hold up. carbon fiber ends up wearing and developing internal failures before they actually go, so how long before you have to replace them?
