Most "carbon" bicycle wheels are only carbon fairings attached to an aluminum rim. The properties of the aluminum make it less likely to self destruct in a pot hole or something like that. After seeing a true carbon wheel colapse after a 5mph collision with a dog in the Tour de France there is no way I'd want one on my car.
As far as sturdy bicycle wheels I like American Classic's line of aero rims. The difference in aero is negligable for us mere mortals, the wheel is lighter, and costs a lot less.
