I don't think Carbon Fiber can get bent.

Knicked or scuffed, but not bent. It is supposed to be very very strong. Plus, that wheel has got an aluminum or steel ring. Don't Formula1 cars use carbon fiber wheels?

I thing carbon fiber would hold together in most accidents that would break a steel wheel. It might be splintered all to hell, but it'd be there.

I'd try them if I had money to burn on mods.

Carbon fiber wraped maybe, If it was all CF don't you think you have to pay Formula 1 prices. They would be worth twice the price as OZ racing Supperleggras
