Carbon Fiber Rims

I mean, you know they're not made of carbon fiber. They're wheels!

CC, sorry to disagree, but Dymag does make CF rims (with cast magnesium centers) -- um, they're only $2500 each?

Carbon is not really a good material for wheels, unless you mix it with something like Kevlar.
If you want carbon overload, the image below is about 1200 lbs of the stuff (an upside-down boat hull, about 56 ft long). The "paper" stuck to it is "peel-ply", used to separate the carbon pre-preg from the bleeder cloth so you can remove the vacuum bag easily after cooking it. It also protects the carbon from scuffing while it is on. This is what we do all day, every day at the shop.
