They are either:
1. Volks with CF overlay
2. Not volks with knock-off center caps

To answer your question I have never seen them

It looks like a really bad carbon overlay. The weave of the fiber is gigantic. IMO … I think it looks totally fake.

I'd be embarrassed to do that to a set of Volks…

If you ever see the rest of that NSX you will completely understand.

I will never understand people who will take a perfectly good car and rice it out to no end. The man has a Ractive exhaust, gaudy looking Momo wheel, DAD seats and none of it even matches. It looks completely like "powered by ebay" knock-offs

u know now that I take a second look, that carbon is terrible. The rim doesnt look bad, but that carbon could look alot better. Plus, now I think that is a bit overdoing it. VOLK are badass the way they come.

That is not carbon fiber. That looks like the faux carbon stickers from ToraSport. I have worked with carbon and other composites for years and I am sure that is not real carbon fiber...not even real overlay.


have you guys ever seen carbon-composite wheels on bicycles, wheelchairs, etc? It does not look like the 2x2 twill weave found on dress-up parts like hoods, etc. Carbonfiber has its strong aspects and its weak aspects. It would NOT make a good choice of materials for an automobile wheel. the first pothole you hit, the rim would crack/shatter. Carbon wheels are great for lighter vehicles like bikes and wheelchairs, not for 2000lb+ cars.
