Mosler MT900S to be first production car with Carbon Fiber Wheelsma
Mosler Automotive looks to be the first company to equip a production vehicle with carbon fiber wheels. The Mosler MT900S will be wearing Dymag 18- and 20-inch magnesium / composite carbon fiber wheels. These light weights tip the scales at 14 pounds for the front 18-inch rims and 17.5 pounds for the 20-inch rears.
The Dymag wheels have saved nearly 10 pounds of weight from each wheel making for a sizable difference in performance and handling. With the MT900S weighing just 2,450 pounds (1,950 pounds in the "Photon" trim) any weight saving makes remarkable differences in unsprung weight.
Comments
The Koenigsegg CCX already offers them as an option.
