They aren't made of carbon fiber, they are covered in real carbon fiber. Still an aluminum wheel under the carbon fiber.

I saw them in person at SEMA, asked the guys at the booth. They look killer, but those prices are brutal!

I thought I remember seeing a company that was making all carbon fiber wheels that were crazy expensive, in the $4000 / wheel range.

But then again, I thought they were like 10lbs per wheel for a 19" wheel.

Damn they look amazing but way too freaking expensive. Before I would spend that much on them I would buy some Fikse Profil 13s.

when I first saw these wheels, I wanted to get them for my 01 SS til I was quoted the price. I settled for my Foose wheels instead

I think those look pretty sweet, ridiculously expensive, but nice none the less. I don't think they would look right on an f-body though, I don't think the match the style of the car. On something like a Ferrari or a new Vette, though

A set of those with tires cost more than some peoples cars on this site.

Hell, one of them cost more than I paid for my DD, lol.

I like exposed carbon fiber when it's a form follows function thing. Carbon weave for the sake of appearances is not my bag. This is no different than a stick-on carbon "dash kit" in my opinion.
