They certainly look the dogs danglies - BUT - knowing how CF behaves when under stress (as opposed to normal metal rims) I imagine it could be an accident waiting to happen esp on the types of high performance cars these rims were designed for.

CF will just shatter and break - no flex like you would get in metal - mag or alloy rims.

Would be fantastic for Show and shine type cars..

Im not sure Id risk em on the Irish roads unless they come with some super duper insurance + warranty..

Any damage caused by product failure is covered by so and so..
