Carbon fiber wheels are more affordable than ever.

Australian company, Carbon Revolution, manufacturer of one-piece carbon fiber wheels is cutting prices thanks in part to recent OEM contracts.

“The new pricing is the direct result of manufacturing optimization made possible by the rapid growth of the business driven by OEM supply,” said Brett Gass, Executive Director at Carbon Revolution.

The company is supplying one-piece carbon fiber wheels to Ford for its Shelby GT350R Mustang and Ford GT supercar programs.

“Efficiencies in scale thanks to higher manufacturing volumes, as well as new automation in our purpose-built Australian factory is allowing us to pass these benefits on to aftermarket customers,” Gass added.

A set of four Carbon Revolution CR-9 wheels will now cost from USD $11,850 (MSRP) for five-bolt fitments, which represents a reduction of approximately $4,000.
