    WTT: Carbon Fiber for WHEELS

    Yes. My E30 is in need of some nicer wheels and a set of lowering springs. If anyone has a set they'd like to part with in exchange for some custom carbon fiber work, please let me know! I work on everything too, besides auto.
    Here is a gallery of some stuff:




    Thanks!

    that chair is hella cool, what would you think a retail price on something like that would be? Your other work is really nice too. Most everything is wrapped, correct?

    Build, break, repair, repeat.

      Most everything is NOT wrapped actually. I'm not a fan of wrapping because it kind of defeats the purpose of carbon fiber's true attributes. But, many love the look and some things only make sense to wrap instead of making a mold and going through the other stuff.

      I sell that chair for $399. It is 10.5oz twill cf with a wood core.

        I'm also in need of a steering rack in good condition. Mine has some serious play on the inner tie rods... unless someone can point out how to fix that?

            I'm really liking that chair. I would sure like a CF center cap for my M-tech II wheel?

                I've got a steering rack for a 1987+ car here in San Diego.

                LMK if you need it.

                  Is the cap something you could take off and send to me? If so, no problem!

                  Same thing for this. I'd probably want to make a mold instead of wrapping.

                    I don't need anything wrapped in CF, but if you want the rack it's yours for $75 picked up.

                      I could probably send these down to you. My guess is the wheel center cap would likely be better molded as well.

                        You could make wheels out of carbon fiber

                          You're talking about the cap over the coil on the M42, right? Or the one on the block? In any event I have both and can get either one to LenSolo if he needs to use one as a mold for you.

                            I was thinking of the cap on the valve cover.

                              Excellent. Wrapping FTL.

                              Replace your inner tie rods.
