What is parked behind Bebs? A bit Lotusie. I am with you on the black wheels. Oh and to cheer you a little, mine was at the garage for vibration yesterday. All 4 wheels are buckled! And I haven't been off roading either!Absolutely not, they were gloss black when I bought the car.. didn’t like it, too much black!

Makes you wonder how much rims on cars, like the Taycan, cost to repair when half of it is carbon fibre. View attachment 100305
Crikey, yes I can imagine! I'd like understand the advantage if any of these vs magnesium alloys. Carbon doesn't have the same dampening or heat dissipation properties so is the advantage just weight and cost?I believe carbon wheels are scrap when you clout the kerb. As it affects the structural integrity of the wheel.
That was the reason Gordon Murray gave for not using them anyway.
