Dear 6 Speed Members,

It is good to be back I am a former sponsor and member.

I wanted to introduce Carbon Revolution, the company that I have recently joined.

After years of research and development, Australian based Carbon Revolution has succeeded in solving one of the last remaining holy grails of the industry - A full one-piece carbon fiber wheel.

The entire wheel structure is molded as a single piece utilizing high end composite materials, currently built in sizes 19x8.5 (15.4lb) & 19x12 (17.9lb) and designed to mount directly on Porsche 911's. The wheels are compatible with factory tire pressure monitoring systems, accept factory center caps and come complete with all required installation hardware.

The wheels are 40% -50% lighter than premium OEM equivalents made from Aluminum. Carbon Revolution has used specialised wheel testing laboratories and testing tracks around the world to ensure that the most rigorous standards imposed by European OEMs have been tested for.

These products are high tech works of art, but then the performance advantages are the best value tuning to be bought for any vehicle. The manufacturing process is highly efficient and controllable. It has merged the rigor of aerospace processes with the efficiency and control of high volume automotive production.

Amongst the team are ex-OEM senior engineers from chassis development and drive train roles, senior manufacturing executives from world leading automotive component suppliers, R&D specialists from leading aircraft manufacturers, industrial composites manufacturing specialists and numerous PhD's with world leading materials and structures knowledge.

Carbon Revolution wheels will improve the performance of your car in many ways. Bolting on a set of lightweight CR-9 wheels is equivalent to:

· Adding horse power to the engine (increased acceleration)
· Increasing the size of the brakes (shorter stopping distances)
· Fitting stickier tires (improved grip)
· Upgrading your suspension (steering and handling improvements)
· Adding more sound insulation to the vehicle (Reduced road noise)
· Reduced vehicle mass (fuel savings)

Carbon Revolution wheels will be sold through select Specialty Tire & Wheel retailers, performance tuners and high end boutique car dealerships worldwide.


This is a remarkable and unique new technology and now there is the opportunity to experience it for yourselves.

Congrats on this new wheel line! Long time out of the game, but what a way to get back into it.

Saw some photos of the wheel that BBi was checking for caliper clearance a couple of days ago.

Still have my magaluminum Dymags. Still going strong, no leakage, perfect after close to 4 years.

Finally, a worthy replacement for the Dymags! Good luck, and will be in touch.

Naoto.

 

Pm price for narrow body 19".

 

Please pm price for 2011 gt3 rs centerlock application.

Thanks.

 

If you know cost already please PM for a GT3 997.1 please.

Beautiful looking products,and congratulations to pushing the frontiers of CF applications. How much testing have these wheels been subjected to (mount and dismount cycles simulating multiple changing of brake pads and cleaning off accumulated rubber debris at tracks; noticed that the holes are made of metal since repeated torquing of wheel bolts will definitely wear out any carbon seating surfaces in the mounting area of the wheel). Also I would assume the wheels have a requirement that special tire mounting equipment must be used to avoid damage incurred from mounting and changing sets of tires. How many sets of tires can these wheels be expected to (or actual real world testing miles) serve before loss of integrity?

 

New frontier for the automotive wheel world.

GMG will be the west coast distributor of the wheels and will assist in all technical aspects and fitments.



I have had the pleasure of spending some times with the wheels up close and personal. The attention to detail is amazing but most importantly the team behind the wheel design -engineering and manufacturing are some of the top composite specialists and engineers in the world who come from the aerospace industry.




The testing that has gone into this product far exceeds what is the standard on the market today and the wheels have surpassed every test.
I have a pretty big stack of documentation on my desk supporting the testing in the USA and abroad.

Very impressive to say the least.

I am happy to help answer any questions please feel free to email me directly.



We are pleased to add CR to the technology leading products we carry and stand behind.

We are now taking orders please email or PM me if you need more info and pricing.

Will they be made in 18"?

 

At this time only 19 & 20" are planned but if the demand is there for 18" we can build.

Thanks,

Bill

 

Thanks for ALL the inquiries on the CR wheels.

We look forward to getting the first order sets in Nov.

We are also working with CR to some wheels in wheel to wheel competition over the course of the next few months.
