Our US distributor Rennworx was so amazed at the weight savings of our carbon fiber wheels that he whipped up this really cool poster. There's a press release floating around where he lists the advantages of saving upwards of 70 lbs of weight.
The effect of carbon/magnesium wheels when fitted to the car is to reduce the gyroscope effect of the wheel and ultimately producing the following effects:1. Improved acceleration
2. Improved braking, reduced stopping distance
3. Lighter, sharper steering
4. Allows for softer damper settings giving more tire contact & therefore
better grip.
5. Tire temperatures are more stable
6. Improved wheel & tire balancing
They also look really sweet too! We found this image posted on a Japanese Porsche GT3 fetish site.
