Nice!
Heads up Guys this thing is awesome and even better the price $275.00 on Ebay - manufacturers site list it at $999.00 - this thing is stunning - just installed it
Also noticed when I disconnected the negative terminal on battery - I just left range Tech and Vitesse controller installed after taking it for a drive the Vitesse is even crazier now - snappier and smoother - no idea why but not complaining - dont have Carbon fiber trim plate until Monday so no real pics yet
Here is quick photoshop of the bad boy - little strange driving a D-Shape but get use to it in no time - if your looking for a great mod for an amazing price this is it other then Vitesse of course
Here is the Ebay listing and the Manufacturers site:

Ha, yep. Good thing I’m a function over form type. And for the cost, no way it’s real CF. I’m really excited to get this wheel and review it. I have wanted a wheel for a while but can’t bring myself to spend 4 figures. I spend to much on brakes and tires lol. This looks like the perfect option for a track car. Maybe not so much for the cars and coffee crowd. I will be a happy camper If it looks good, feels good, and holds up to abuse. Based on the OP’s review, I am keeping my fingers crossed.

People charge a lot for it because they know they can. They've got people fooled into thinking hand laid wet "appearance only" carbon is the same as engineered, structural carbon that was vacuum bagged in an autoclave. It's not.

Carbon fiber isn't that expensive.

It's just the new fiberglass, but looks pretty when woven.
