Cf Bbs....

[joshh]

Looks like I stand corrected...per their website the shell is all CF.

[Van Westervelt]

Right they are. The entire barrel is CF. :) There are some companies making the centers out of CF as well.

One of my friends is working on a Carbon/Mag 13in wheel for his senior project.

Supposing that a CF wheel could hold weight, would it be able to hold up against the high impact of hitting wall or a pothole?

I'd say no to hitting a wall. I do know Dymag is popular on the newer 996+ P-cars. I've seen two cars with the wheels, one a turbo-vert, and one a gt2. Not sure on the specific year. Both are streetcars.

CF would flex a lot more before breaking then aluminum would before bending. Pot holes would be fine, but walls are a different story. But who the hell runs their car into walls on a regular basis?

Race cars on street courses and ovals with walls directly next to the track.

i want to carbon fiber my cock. The weight savings would be well worth the pain. My legs kill me when I have to walk a lot during the day.

[Farbin Kaiber]

Carbon Fiber cock? They make those? I'll have to look into that.


Oh...

I talked to the US distributer for Dymag wheels. Asked the price for the carbon/mag wheels....he said up around $2500.000000 each (yes those extra zeros are for emphasis).

Thats nothing. BBS race wheels are more than that.

We have one customer at the shop I work at with those Dymag wheels on his Audi. Pretty sweet looking.

BBS race wheels don't fit on street cars. But I wasn't comparing...

i stand corrected, but i dont see how cf would ever be more practical/safe than alloy or another metal
