[QUOTE="93 347 Cobra, post: 14445013, member: 7047"] Never say never. In that engineering tv segment Matthew Zaluzec, Ford Tech Leader, specifically says they're looking to transition these lighter weight wheel technologies into the entire fleet with the first application being a more limited production model, the Mustang program and an SVT vehicle was specifically mentioned as a good starting point with the goal being to eventually scale-up to higher-production vehicles like Fusion. I bet it will be offered on the standard version with a full warranty, he specifically said they wouldn't green-light it if the durability tests were not passed. The new parts listings for "CF wheels" tell us that indeed they passed durability. The forged aluminum wheels are already very expensive so it's not much of a stretch to imagine that with a break-through technology that decreases manufacturing costs as Carbon Revolution is claiming could make these carbon fiber wheels quite price competitive. I have some experience with medical composites and I'm almost willing to bet these are cured with UV light instead of being auto-claved. [/QUOTE]
