Imagine all the weight savings you get when the wheel disintegrates on you!

The one that broke looks pretty cheap.

Is it just me, or do those spokes look cast aluminum?!?

Looks more like aluminum foil to me.

Looks like the spokes are/were magnesium, and THATS what failed...not the carbon fiber.

I like them but still not worth the price yet

It'd make me feel like some kind of Honda owner to have rims on the car that cost more than the car did...
