[QUOTE="93 347 Cobra, post: 16324880, member: 7047"] I think there are two different production processes for the Ford GT wheels and for the GT500 wheels. The GT500 and 350R wheels are not auto-claved but UV light-cured which is why they've mentioned them needing to be coated with UV resistant paints or epoxies (don't remember what they switched to). If they get over-exposed to UV they'll get brittle. Not sure about the exact process but I'd imagine they're dramatically less time-intensive. Not sure why CR can't cure more wheels at a time. Ford's exclusive contract will expire at some point and then GM will throw them on the Vette. Clearly we were hoping they would be able to dramatically scale-up production capacity. [/QUOTE]
