notice the only 8 inch width wheel comes in 19's? i'd wager to say that these are not performance oriented.

The carbon fiber is only an overlay. They look like Ricer crap to me. The technology exists to build true carbon fiber wheels, but since everyone is sueing everyone, companies dont want to risk a wheel breaking at highway speeds. Carbon fiber is strong and light...but brittle if impacted. If you want the really crazy+sick light, strong rims get Magnesium.
