Carbon Fiber is much favoured by the experts that tout aero-dynamism as the best bet to cut air faster. The problem with the usage of that material is the high-manufacturing cost and thus only the high-priced cars are the ones that vouch for it. The first all carbon fiber wheel would therefore be ideal for people who don’t really care about the price at which it is being sold in the market. Introduced by Weds, a Japanese after-market company, the unique wheel would assist the car in cutting down on weight and thus gaining on speed. The entire set of wheels that is available for $12,000 only weighs 24.4 lbs. When you consider the usual weight of a commuter, it would be brought down by 39.6 lbs. What is to be seen is how these wheels perform on road for I haven’t heard off any major carmaker employing this technique in the production floor. I believe Jay Leno must have heard about it and we would soon have the exact performance details, as of now, let the riches lionise their wheels for the mere want of rarity.
