Check Out My New Custom Carbon Fiber Wheels
#31
These are special order. Done at butler tire for my wheels.

Those wheels look good. But I'm not a fan of things that are made to look like something they're not. Which limits my options of course. For instance, I was thinking of CF spoiler and intakes and side mirrors - but they're prohibitively expensive if they're actually MADE from the stuff and not just wrapped. I can't even fathom how much pure CF wheels would run!
I've never seen that front bumper before. Have you considered blacking out the intake slats? I think it would compliment the black accent thing you have going on even better.

I think some people don't understand that they are carbon fiber on the wheel not wrapped you can't wrap wheels. If you saw the wheels in person you would understand. Just because someone charges 15k for carbon fiber which is unreal doesn't mean a company will not do it cheaper. If you brought your wheels over there they wheel charge you atleast 4k and 4 to 6 weeks to get it done.
The whole wheel is not carbon fiber only 5 inches from the inside out is carbon fiber. If i would have the whole wheel carbon fiber it would cost 8k to do it. No point because no one will see the inside. I hope now some people not all will understand LOL.

I have never said the wheel is carbon fiber its the material used. I should have said carbon fiber on the wheel LOL for some people.

Yes you are right sorry texting from the phone. Yes if the whole wheel was carbon fiber OMG would be expensive.

Love the look..not so crazy about adding 15-20lbs of rotating weight to each corner...no wonder you don't spin anymore...As has been said, if those wheels were 100% CF, they would weigh about 12-15lbs each...
The volks on my RS6 weigh 20lbs each...and won't crack if I hit a pot hole...

996tt550hp, the car looks great! I thought 20's would look outrageously big, but glad to see they don't. I think how low you have your car set really helps you pull these off.
I also think you're a little confused about what the process that was done to your wheels was though, you had them hydrodipped - which is basically just a pattern that is applied to the wheels, there is no carbon fiber weave anywhere on them, just a graphic (more or less)
Here, this guy has a 'carbon fiber' hand through the same process
