From another forum, off an nsx forum, thought I’d share… **does this define JDM balla?** 😃 This is the wheel involved in a accident at 110mph into the wall at Laguna Seca racetrack… it was on a Porsche GT3 (2005)… the inner barrel was crushed by the suspension but it still held air… the magnesium face smashed but still stayed on and the carbon fiber barrel held up better than the mag. face… The car was totaled but it is proof that the wheel will NOT “explode” or do anything crazy like that… I am still waiting for my set and will keep everyone posted [![http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/415/10022735sz.jpg](http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/415/10022735sz.jpg)](http://imageshack.us) [![http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/8387/dymag40xn.jpg](http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/8387/dymag40xn.jpg)](http://imageshack.us) [![http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/6176/dymag30dp.jpg](http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/6176/dymag30dp.jpg)](http://imageshack.us) [![http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/9185/10019239so.jpg](http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/9185/10019239so.jpg)](http://imageshack.us) [![http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/7238/10019265sn.jpg](http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/7238/10019265sn.jpg)](http://imageshack.us) [![http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/6412/dymag55xy.jpg](http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/6412/dymag55xy.jpg)](http://imageshack.us) ---

:eek: They need this in deep dish now. I wonder why they didn’t make the whole thing Carbon Fibre. Is it because of heat dissippation of the brakes? Carbon Fibre doesn’t conduct heat but Magnesium does?
