One-Piece Carbon Fiber Wheels

Beautiful Wheels! I called and they don't make them for an M6 because the axel load and weight of the car can't support the carbon fiber material. If your drive a lighter car like a Porsche, they are perfect!

No.... maybe for a show car that is not driven, yet for a true track / road car.... when those rims 'break' you're totally SOL.

Larry, the wheels on your M6 are forged, I imagine? Those should already be pretty light and very strong.

Those look nice but even for something like a 911 I would likely save these for the track. At least with the crappy roads here in Toronto thanks to the drastic temperature changes per season and snow plows.

Did you try the GTS wheels? Not full carbon but the barrel is.

I think you are asking for trouble with those wheels, what a nightmare to repair they must be. Interesting concept though.

Pretty ! If you like the look, you can have your OEM wheels dipped using the process where they have a film floating on water with whatever pattern you like, including carbon fiber and they dip your wheel transferring the pattern to the wheel. Clearcoating it afterwards ensure durability. It's faux but looks pretty sharp.
