That's really cool! I will anxiously wait to see the longevity these wheels have.

This is a huge step forward for the industry. It's part of the reason that I'm going to school to work with composites. It's the beginning of a whole sale shift to stronger, lighter materials.

Hopefully they last as long as any other oem wheel since they have to meet all federal standards.

Awesome. I love the fact that they plasma spray the inner wheel for thermal protection.
