Leading on from the "Aluminium Radials" thread on this board.

In the 1970's Citroen experimented with Carbon fibre wheels for their SM model.
Sadly little progress seems to have been made since then.

Does any one know of a source for these for road cars?

And why do F1 , Indy cars etc not use them?

Cheers , Pete.
