Carbon Wheels

[Brett Dikeman]

I can't see how carbon-fiber would be good for wheels.  I was always told
carbon-fiber was good for holding loads, very bad at handling shock(ie, it
is brittle.)  That would obviously be a VERY bad quality for a rim,
especially for rallying.  Or have I got this one wrong?

I have some serious doubts on this.  It looks to me like its just for show.

Look at the whole magnesium fiasco...

"they're super light!"
<part of wheel goes flying off...>
"now it's even lighter, what are you complaining about?!"
