    Can't say that suits the FF aesthetically. Look more jdm track orientated. Just my opinion. I'm sure some will love them.

    Not sure I'd do that. I wonder why the price is so low, compared to what others have done with carbon wheels. Also, it's fairly new, as far as "mass production" goes. The only company I know of, besides Koenigsegg, is Carbon Revolution - and they have a starting price of 20+k, which i waaaay lower than Koenigsegg wheels, as they are "mass produced": It's a big thing, so I can't help but wonder why I've never heard of these. Unless they had a genuine TÜV certification for the FF, and the production facility had one as well, I wouldn't touch them with a red hot poker.

    Of course, I could be wrong on the price, as in they are charging 48000 usd for 4 of these monstrosities. God they are ugly.

    Run away from this deal. After working with the best wheel companies in the world over the years and the problems they have had, I seriously doubt this company resolved all the issues.

    Might be a good product etc who knows if they will be doing this in 12 months when you need the warranty:)

    A gimmic of huge (and expensive) proportions. Do you see race teams use these? No? There's a reason for that...
