Who makes the carbon fiber wheels with beadlocks, and what is the price in comparison to regular .190 wheels with bead locks?

How do you get 300? They are about 190 a rim. And the are so much lighter then any aluminum rim ( not sure by how much though ) but they are suppose to be really stong.

yeah, but think about all the extra bolts that come with beadlocks, and the fact that stockers Dont even have beadlocks, im willing to bet there about 6 pounds lighter than front aluminum beadlocks atleast....it wont save wieght when you compare to stock, but for a racer, beadlocks are more of a must, so all around to all around you could save 10 pouns or so using CF
