Look what I got for xmas

I've been wanting this for a long time. It's quite beautiful but I'm not digging how it feels right now. I hope I get used to the hard feel of carbon fiber.

Link?!

I think it looks great, the hard carbon fiber top and bottom definitely helps with the peeling/wear tear that is more evident at those spots

Very nice!

Has the wheel grown on you more?

Is it a lot thicker than a stock wheel?

Who cares how it feels? What's MOST important is how it looks!

You can find this style on eBay for like $400 (idk if they were carbon though, gotta look). Can't comment on quality but they sure do look cool.

Edit: yea carbon are more like $1500+, but you can get leather/perf. leather/alcantra wheels for like $400.
Go through the pages at this eBay link and you'll see.

A little too much for me personally but it looks cool. I'd swap the trim for the OE to tone the CF overload down a bit...
