למה נדמה לי שאף אחד לא נכנס לקישור ורק קורא שאלה CARBON RIMS !
אוקי אז לכל העצלנים שביניכם ... הנה הכתבה והתמונה של הגנט....
Project Discription
This new constructed wheel is a patented development. It consists of a metal star centre, which is formed into a carbon fibre wheel rim.
The wheel when complete, weights 30-40 % less than a light alloy wheel of comparative design.
The carbon fibre wheel rim is constructed with the metal star for the weight of the listed cars.
In kg you would be saving around 2 - 2,5 kg.
The Idea
To reduce the unsprung weight load for a better driving contact between the car and the road surface. This allows for better acceleration and improved fuel consumption. A further major advantage is that the life of the brakes is increased. The temperature of the brakes is allowed to be dissipated out through the centre star of the wheel, making it impossible to overheat the brakes. Development Position
The first prototype has already been produced. The new constructed wheel has passed the following tests: continual running, Impact, Temperature. The patented constructed wheel in size 8,5 J x 18 H2 will be available in summer 2003.
