i doubt the whole wheel would be made out of carbon fiber..i believe just the middle section of the wheel is. The carbon fiber wheel would probably have the same chance with a pothole as any rota.

Wasn't there some Volk Wheels posted on here with a 350Z hosting the wheels. I believe they were CF, if I'm not mistaken.

^ This is what I meant. Couldn't remember the word (wrap). Well anyways I don't care to see a CF Rim, because all it will be is CF Wrapped.

EDIT: You going to the meet tomm.?

My buddy has BST Carbon Fiber rims on his 1397CC turbo busa, and they've been tested and DOT certified. Run around 3000 for a set of 2. I don't know if they make car wheels, but I mounted the tires on his and they are entirely made of carbon fiber.
