Thank you for the information, this was very helpful.
Now we can proceed into cutting forged wheels for the GT500 base guys that dont want to buy longer studs.

I think it will be interesting to see how well CF wheels hold up over time compared to aluminum wheels, in regard to dimensional stability, runout, etc. I have no idea about what it will do, just curious.

The CF technology has certainly taken over and there are several cars that are much more deeply invested into it that the GT500 and GT350R. Multiple cars including the newer Ford GT have CF tubs if I am not mistaken. Significant weight savings even over AL. Can you imagine that car with the predator S/C V8 instead of the V6? That thing would need extra CF wing to keep it on the ground.
