I read something on this awhile back... there are a few companies (at least one) overseas that make CF wheels, but they're not available for street use.
I *think* it has something to do with torsional loading, etc, that makes them more likely to decay and be damaged in short order vs. alloy wheels.
Even if you could get them, and get them imported, it's still illegal to run them on the street, as they're not D.O.T. Approved, and probably won't be any time soon. I'm sure there is a concern over the wheels being made of "fabric" or something.
This, of course, applies to US DOT, not Aussie. Have no idea about foreign (to me) countries.

I'd like to think that people might open their eyes at some point... instead, I find it more and more likely that I'll just close mine.
