its $1500 for the set of 4. I saw a flyer for these wheels and the gym and it said it on the back. I wonder how strong they are?

Default Re:Carbon Fiber?
Did you investigate further? It's a 3mm COATING of carbon fiber over an aluminum wheel.

real carbon fiber wheels are much much much more expensive.

more expensive, and cant be used on the street, theyd be in peices on the first crack in the road. you need a perfectly flat race track surface to use them.
