i was reading turbo magazine and i came across a page mentioning a new carbon fiber rim that maybe coming out by WedsSport. it weighs in at only 6 lbs. its a project as for now but i thought i would mention it. i post pics up later if i can get it.

 

lmao!!! any1 driving in new york betta not even think about this unless they drive their car on a flat bet

 

Now that would be HOT. Do you have a link?

 

i tried going to the company's website but since it was all in japanese i couldn't really get to it. i got the info on the wheel from this months turbo magazine.

heres the link for any1 who can read japanese
http://www.weds.co.jp/

 

Also, I'd be frightened at how much that could cost. Here are the rims form that site but no mention of CF rims:
http://www.weds.co.jp/products/

 

My guess would be at least around $10,00 considering that there are BBS, Volks, and others that run around >$1,000 a piece

 

Wow those are very very light!!

But is that safe also?

How much do the stock alloys on the max weigh?

 

I'm pretty sure that they weigh about 27-28lbs each...so 6lbs a wheel would = 22lbs lighter a corner...22x4=88x8=equivalent to 704lbs of dead mass...100lbs=.1 second off your time-slip...so getting the cf wheels would get you roughly .7 seconds off your time...1 second=approximately 5 car lengths

 

Or add time from all the excess wheel spin.

 

That too

That's why you get the bestest slicks and run them at 15psi... lawlz

 

With NY roads, you can probably still crack them on the flat bed. ROFL

 

Still wanna see how much . . links anyone?

 

Wow that is impressive!!

But is that safe? I mean... I would think the sheer weight of the car would crack them or somethin'

 

idk srry i can't get more info but it was just a page with a small box just saying wedssport is coming out with a cf wheel that weighs 6lbs. no link or anythin else was on that page....some1 find a friend who knows japenses and check out the link from the first post.

also just to give some info till i can scan the page its a 10 spoke wheel

 

Found this post on G35frenzy. If anyone is a member on there shoot the OP a PM - for some reason the pictures aren't there any more..hope this helps.

Im trying to get pics. Cant seem to find any.

 

Just kidding!!!!!

 

Some better pics:



Look at the weight - 2.7 kilograms!!!

 

That is insane.....

I can only see something like that on a... civic or something that is pretty light!

But can they hold the weight of a Maxima??

 

Never heard of this! CF rims!
Who is going to be the first brave soul that is going to try this and report back to us?
If you survive, that is.

 

I think with a red lip, these rims would be incredible. Photoshop anyone????

 

larism-the rims are a project so far im not certain if it will actually come out anytime soon

lol even with the cf rims u want a red lip? thats crzy

i kinda got that bug i got the same onyx black and once the weather gets warmer im spraying the letters and nissan badge on the trunk red

also deus why don't u go with the red led license plate bulbs. i like the look looks better then the blue or white bulbs...my opinion

 

If someone gets these and doesn't already have a turbo or s/c on their car, then they deserve to die.

/thread

 

Not a bad idea. I may try that!!

 

that's the funniest thing I have heard today. 10,000 on cf rims and 6,000 on turbo? hmmmm
