Lightweight

Well, the wheels are certainly lightweight. However, there are many forged aluminum wheels available in this weight range.

For example, the 19x8.5 OZ Superforgiata weighs 16.1 Lbs and is TUV Certified: You can buy a set from Tire rack for $6000.

It's not the only one.

Don't get me wrong, I think Carbon wheels are cool. But $15,000 a set and almost no weight advantage and no TUV testing?

I totally agree with you. Furthermore, all the "Epic this/epic that/my nuts are epic" is really unnecessary. There's nothing extraordinary about wheels and bolts...seriously, especially these ones so to the OP do us a favor and take it down a notch or 10

Our Superforgiata is definitely a player in that weight category, and yes they are less expensive. But, I'm sure we can all appreciate the effort to pioneer a full carbon wheel that holds up over time. So far nobody has been able to. Our hats are off to Carbon Revolution if they can pull it off. Well done, I think the carbon wheels are NEAT!

Ok, stupid question, but how is that carbon fiber material enough to support the weight of the entire car?

Its not 100% completely CARBON. It has a metal plate behind the center of the wheel and inserts for the wheel bolts to attach to. Really cool looking wheel.
