Check Out My New Custom Carbon Fiber Wheels

20x8.5 and 20x11 No problems whatsoever so far and the ride feels way better then 19s. Thx to Sean at Freed Performance and Wayne at Butler Tire at the corporate store in Atlanta, Ga. Hope you guys like.......

The wheel is not a carbon fiber wheel it's carbon fiber material layered then dipped on the wheel.

I assume that they are not made of or from carbon fiber considering the 30lb weight estimate? It looks more like a hydro dipped wheel in a carbon fiber graphic.

Hey,

Yes they would weigh like 70 pounds if real carbon fiber and cost around 4k a wheel LOL this ran me around 6k with tires.

Well, the $4k per wheel is close ($15k for a set of Carbon Revolution CR9s in 997 GT3 sizing), but the wheels weigh 15 pounds.

Unless you meant 70 pounds for the set, which isn't far off, but since you said the Victors weigh 30 pounds, I assumed you meant per wheel in each case.

Thx in person they look pretty normal. I love that the wheels fill in all the gaps. My acceleration was never affected it makes me not spin my wheels lol also my ride is a lot smoother.

Car handles better around turns for some reasons. I like it also because my wheels dont spin as much as before.
