Fake carbon fiber is the emodiment of rice. A couple companies have done wheels with a real dry-carbon shell over the aluminum wheel which is still low on the evolutionary ladder, but far above anything painted black with silver dots to make it look like carbon.

I like the look of them. As the owner of a black '05, I would put them on my car.
I like them, too. As the owner of a Torch Red '05, I'd put them on. Wouldn't be too different from the look I have now, so what the hay? Especially if you've got an aftermarket carbon fiber dash kit, as some of you do.

sorry but those are gayer than gay...

its not even carbon fiber its a paint that is applied then clear coated.

like the previous post states, carbon fiber is strong, but not that strong. mabye for skinnieds or something like that...

now this... is a carbon fiber wheel. it costs $1599. for the front only, and $1899 for the rear 20x10. motorcycle full race wheel that weighs 6 lbs.
