Thanks got the PM...The only car I could see putting these on is my race car and I already have 4 sets of forgelines for that...I'll keep in in mind for down the road though...thanks. They look awesome and cf surely does have a performance advantage for sure.

as a board sponsor, i think he might not be allowed to post pricing info. but that doesn't mean Sunir can't share with the rest of us

As a mod on this board and with the Aston Martin forum as one of the forums I moderate, since the membership wants it and OP is a board sponsor and forum supporter. I will allow CR wheels (OP) to post pricing if he wishes. Thank you for your continued support and thanks members for being civil while asking for information from our sponsors.

This is the big one, DOT legal I would love to see. But a no loss mold set with epoxy interfaces on carbon holding up to today's stiff sidewalls and thin tires I just will not believe. You can always crack carbon, just takes force and in some cases time. Add in UV exposure and curbing a wheel or any defect from road debris let alone carbon defects and your asking for trouble. Got to remember heat cycling as well from brakes.

If it gets made and it holds up them cool, Dot legal even better.

I don't know of any aftermarket wheels that are DOT approved. Does anyone else?

Only a few are TUV but even that can be misleading. I've heard several times that TUV approves the machines, the process but not necessarilly the wheel itself. Again, does anyone have better info to share?

Hi Guys,

In regards to testing I would ask everyone go to the website as we have done extensive testing.
www.carbonrev.com

Please look at testing tab and read and see the videos.


We are working with testing agency's world wide and have put our wheel up against the toughest standards both aftermarket and OEM specific test.

After review the website please let me know if you have additional testing questions and I will be happy to share information.

As for pricing I did not think we were allowed to discuss so please PM.

Thank you for all your questions and I look forward to working with the 6 Speed members.

Best regards,

Bill Koenig
