i knew somebody would beat me to it.

awesome concept and proof of manufacturing ability. even for myself seeing aerospace applications of composites daily, i am still impressed by this.

i cant help thinking though that carbon fiber just might not be the best material for a wheel. no matter how strong it is, it is still brittle at failure and fairly sensitive to temperature (think brake disc heat...)

Those are baller for sure!
Now, if you painted them, that would elevate your baller status even further!
