Default Carbon Fiber Wheels

I was just wondering if anyone has ever thought of taking stock wheels and covering them in carbon fiber? I think it would be a nice alternative to painting or powdercoating them but I don't know if it would work.

any thoughts?

Those are not true carbon wheels, just forged alu wheel with cf overlay on the spokes.

Never said they were..............that's what the OP asked for.

If you want true CF wheels try Dymag.

How 'bout everyone reserve judgement until they actually see it first.

The CF overlay wheels from 360forged are targeted to luxury and exotic cars. Dymag's carbon fiber wheel is hardcore racing/track wheel and standard on Mosler MT. Maybe not so "tasteless."

hey those wheels in that site that were CF looked bad *** if you ask me. I thinkt hey look better then any color you could paint them. Why do you have to dis on a guy cause he has a different preference then you? Maybe you have bigger problems then making fun of people opinions deal with those ***.
