Autovelocity (www.autovelocityinc.com) has CF-Mag wheels that are incredibly light. The 18x10.5" wheels are claimed to be double the strength of the stock Corvette Z06 wheels and only weigh 8 lbs/ea (forthcoming hollow titanium spoke version claimed to weigh 5.5 lbs).

Any kamikaze pilots out there ready to test these wheels?

Has anybody in competition used such a type of wheel construction? I would guess they'd be the first to invent and develop them if they'd work?
Anyhow, very interesting to say the least...

in Moto GP they use magnesium forged wheel, because the carbon is too stiff. Difficult to imagine that, but a magnesium or alu. alloy wheel has some deformations.
After 2 or 3 hours of use, they replace the wheels.

Jecey - Why is it bad to be stiff? Is it a safety or a performance issue?
