i doubt it's going to be anytime soon that we'll be seeing wheels like that for cheap.

unless they do a hybrid setup like only the spokes are carbon or the rim itself.

Carbon fiber (graphite) wheels are rice, only lighter.

Knowing how brittle graphite is, I don't understand how it'd hold up under high stresses on a track.

so a graphite bat is no good for baseball? if you use it properly it would seem that it can hold up quite nicely.
