Default Carbon Fiber Wheels

Has anyone tried Carbon Fiber wheels on their raptor? I am lookin into getting beadlocks, and the carbon fiber is about the same price as aluminum. Just looking into how good they really are

True, they will be a bit heavier than stock, but they are lighter than a comparable aluminum beadlock. The HiPer Tech carbon fiber beadlocks do come with a 1yr no-questions-asked warranty. I don't think any aluminum wheel manufacturers offer such a deal. Good Luck.
