Default Carbonfiber Rims

For you carbonfiber lovers. Here's the rims you want. Personally I wouldn't trust the hold on my car but I'm sure they go through tons of test before releasing.

Though on bikes you can run'em just fine on the street; I had a set of Dymag's on mY GSXR750 for a few years with np's. I'm putting Marchesini's on my RC51 (Magnesium wheels).

Wonder they they don't make CF/Mag wheels that are streetable for cars.

Or maybe those are? I noticed they're multi-fitment, lots of multi-fitment wheels are intended specificly for street use.

I'd hate to get tires mounted on those by some jackass that didn't know what he was doing lol.

Marchesinis (magnesium) are stock wheels for Ducati Superbikes. I have been rollin' mine for a little over a year now and have never bent or experienced warping on the wheels. I also have a set of carbons for racing and have also rolled them on the streets. I am just more cautious because of all the bad roads here in the East.
As for these wheels, they look pretty nice but I am sure AZEV will eventually be designing a better looking face.

I might some where, but I sold the bike about 2 years ago.

I'll have to look for'em. It was the atypical 3 spoke Dymag; the ones you see everywhere.

I thought CF was more ridig than steel. Do they really bend more easily?

I beleive Mike meant Magneisum wheels bend if damaged.

CF wheels don't bend, they break or shatter.
