Super Light Wheels - Carbon Fiber and Magnesium

Check these out, guys. I was following this thread on www.nasioc.com, a local Subaru site when I saw some new wheels that reminded me of my last post about alternative materials for wheels. These are made of Carbon Fiber (the rim) and Magnesium (spokes).

Here's the thread: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1291339

And here's some pics!
















































These things are SICK. And guess what - if they got damaged, we could fix em..... ; ) Love this new wheel technology.

New Materials For Wheels On The Horizon

Hi Folks,

I was just doing some reading and came across an article about some new wheel technologies that could be emerging in the coming years. We here at Wheel Refinishers have been following a few stories like this because we want to be sure we're on the forefront of wheel technology. We want to be sure that we can repair or refinish each and every wheel on the road.

Here's the article: http://www.azom.com/details.asp?newsID=8875

Fiber composite rims promise to be really cool and great for performance, but they present a whole new set of challenges. For instance, what happens when you accidentially run your composite rim into the curb? Unlike metals that bend and can be heated and reshaped, a composite rim my crack or break rendering it useless.
















We've recently seen a few prototype wheels that use alternate materials, and we're using these prototypes to develop technologies to save damaged wheels of this type. We'll keep you posted on our progress.


Until then, keep 'em off the curbs!
