Composite Wheels
carnut - 2/5/03 at 12:59 PM

Does anyone know of any websites that have info on these as I am very interested?

Im not talking about ordinary wheels that are made from carbon, im talkng about composite wheels which actually deflect in the wheel so you can use a thin layer of solid rubber on the rim. This would make them very light and very reliable and accurate to set up for racing.

well if they exist then im sure their not allowed in racing, most formulas will specify a type of tyre to be used so a thin rubber coat will not suffice, have you seen one of these things before? im interested in knowing more....

cheers
