[QUOTE="SCALECRAFT, post: 15217894, member: 161806"] I would have to agree with krt22 at this point. Ford would surely make sure people knew that their exotic wheels where protected from "pot holes". I think the tire itself with the side wall ridge is the only protection. Carbon fiber is known for being stiff. Kevlar (Aramid) is known for impact resistance. Oddly, Kevlar is also lighter than Carbon fiber. The ideal wheel would be a hybrid of the two composites and aluminum as I see it currently. I posted because I think once the hype (like the Z/28, today, $50K) passes I will get one. The question being which version. [/QUOTE]
