QUOTE Weds Sport, a Japanese performance rim manufacturer had created this one piece, complete carbon fiber rim that weighs in at an impossible 2.76kg per piece, costing an estimated $8000 - $12000 per piece, is most suitable for individuals that never know or seen what potholes are or what do they do. omg... 2.76kg = 6.09 lbs

IIRC carbon fiber can be stronger then most metals if the weave is placed correctly etc etc.
so i dont believe there will be huge issues with them breaking. --------------------  Kawi Love |
