Don’t know if others subscribe to Automobile Magazine, but the recent edition contains a very good article on Carbon Fiber wheels:
http://www.automobilemag.com/news/spinning-carbon/#.WvUa_9ZPKEE.email

They use Ford’s experience with Carbon Revolution to frame the topic. Well written article.

from the article:

Carbon Revolution is also working with Ferrari on wheels for the 488 Pista..“We were very demanding with the style,” Edoardo Rossi, Ferrari product marketing manager for the 488 Pista, said of Ferrari’s work with Carbon Revolution to develop the Pista’s special wheel option. “The spokes ...are very thin, so it was an adjustment. Then we developed together the solution that you see inside, the white coating. It is basically a coating developed from aerospace to preserve the carbon wheel from the heating of the brakes.

:lol:
Ferrari marketing manager talking to the press (in May 2018) about working with CR to develop ... the same coating that's on our :ford: wheels from 2015...

99% of the people won't know better and the remaining 1% know they're lying...sorry, lying is such a strong word. What I mean is misrepresenting the truth ;)

Tracing its roots back to the classic ten-spoke styling of the CV1, the Vossen Hybrid Forged VFS-10 wheel utilizes our advanced flow-forming technology to produce a lighter and stronger barrel. The VFS-10 serves as the mono-block counterpart to the two-piece Vossen x Work VWS-1, blending the affordability of a cast wheel and strength of a forged wheel.

[ame]

The VFS-10 is available in two standard gloss finishes, Silver Metallic & Gloss Graphite and now 9 optional finishes!! A machined Vossen Hybrid Forged cap blends seamlessly with either finish.

Currently the VFS-10 is available in multiple 20" sizes.

A cast wheel is mounted to the flow forming drum and heat is applied.

flow_step2.png

Hydraulic rollers stretch the wheel by applying pressure to to the barrel.

flow_step3.png

The wheel’s material is stretched and compressed to achieve the desired width.

Stretching the barrel material improves the grain structure of the aluminum, making a stronger and lighter barrel, similar to a forged wheel.

Contact Vossen to learn more on the latest wheel to the Vossen lineup.

Would love to get some feedback about this awesome new wheel we're looking to introduce later this summer for the Shelby GT350/R.

One piece, FORGED aluminum engraved with the "Shelby" and "GT350" name.

Expected MSRP: $650.

Only available in Silver.

What thoughts or questions do you have?

Hi Everyone-
We'll have a formal announcement on this wheel shortly; this is just a sneak peek of our sample we're testing. The CS21 will be offered as a 19x10.5 and 19x11 for GT350 owners. The 19x11 weighs 24lbs. This is a true application-specific, mono block forged wheel. The finish we're introducing with the wheel is brushed with *several* coats of clear for depth. We're open to other finish suggestions. I know the largest feedback we've received from most GT350 owners is that they wanted a finish that wasn't black...The official announcement will have some pro photography for you guys/gals to really show off the finish-

I would vote for a satin black finish myself. The brushed finish along with a black and a shade of grey would be what most would buy honestly.

Is that first size meant to be a 19x9.5 or maybe a 19x11.5??
