That picture has got to be BS. I don't care what that Mercedes is made of, if it was in a collision with that VW it would have way more damage. :yesnod:

I'd be worried about the morons at the local tire shop screwing up the rims with their less than average attention to detail.

If I had CF rims, I'd want to have my own rim-clamp machine.
I could go two piece, not separate rim and center, but inside and out, sandwiching the tire between the halves. Just tighten the bolts near the rim and have them balanced.
