How It's Made: Carbon Revolution One-Piece Carbon Fiber Wheels
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 гру 2024
- Carbon Revolution produces the world's only one-piece carbon fiber wheel: the most technically advanced wheel on the planet, and one of the most advanced lightweight technologies on any car. The scientists and technicians who created the first one-piece carbon fiber wheel saw it equally as an immense challenge and a vocation. Tested in Germany to the highest TüV wheel standards, and available for purchase, Carbon Revolution knows carbon fiber better than anybody. The company understands how to optimize the structural integrity and create the ideal stiffness for the ultimate performance. They have also developed techniques to ensure a consistent high-quality manufacturing process in the most critical automotive application, allowing them to provide the first carbon fiber wheels for a mainstream automotive manufacturer: Ford. Backed by patents and many awards, the CR-9 doesn’t just look like the future of wheels, it is the future.

this doesn't say how it's made. title should be something to do with quality
professorquack im so curious to hoe a metal and carbon fabric can be made to handle thousands of pounds
There's a reason why they don't show us how it's made lol
Trade secrets
Outstanding craftsmanship guys and thanks for my GT350R wheels
can these be made in a 5x120 bolt pattern?
Thank You for Quality Workmanship on my GT350R Wheels! 👍👍👍. They are absolutely Beautiful!
Do you make centerlock wheels?
whats the cost of these? :D
Where do I get these?
Can anyone identify the music?
Anyone knows a high quality carbon fiber parts company for trunk spoilers and chin spoilers?
Would love to have some of these but it's just too difficult to find a tire place who will work on them. Could be a nightmare to have something as simple as a nail in a tire.
Many auto workshops wouldn't work on cars with electronic fuel injection in the early days, but now you'd be looking a long time to find one that only worked on carburettors. It's the same with our tech as it proliferates.
Most tire shops have the equipment to work on these wheels, and as they penetrate the market knowledge is growing on how to repair them. There are already a number of helpful videos on UA-cam, including our own channel, which show how to do it.
@CarbonRev yeah I get it. I talked to four here that do have the equipment, and all four said they've still damaged CF wheels before and have stopped working on them. I practically had an order for custom wheels placed, all but paid for. But ended up swapping to forged wheels because it was just too high risk that something as simple as picking up a nail could be a huge hassle. And potential nightmare on a roadtrip.
Really wish I could get these in a size that fit. I'm pretty sure these are a larger diameter than my tires.
We make wheels between 19 and 23" at present, with larger ones coming soon! We may make smaller wheels one day, but weight savings are more substantial compared to alloys when we make larger diameter wheels.
Yeah, I figured you weren't going to make 15" wheels any time soon. I can go up to 16", but that leaves a rubber band of tire around it. 17" is out of the question huge.
You are right about the weight difference being much more substantial at larger sizes. Still, Lotus Elise, Miata, and Kei car folks wish they had the option. Probably not enough sales volume to make economic sense for you.
@CarbonRev focus on smaller wheels that offer more tire protection! I just bought your carbon GT500 wheel lightly damaged for a couple hundred bucks 😂
Amazing technology.
I saw a YT video were Koenigsegg showed how they built their own carbon fiber wheels in house. I am in the USA, are these CF Wheels available to the consumer market? If you get curb damage are these type of wheels repairable at a reasonable cost? If I wanted a custom set made for my personal car could I have it done at a reasonable cost? BTW can these wheels come in any other color than Carbon Fiber black? Can they be color matched to the color of your car for example?
+Benjamin .1, Yes...Thank you...I've alrealdy been on their website and seen the "Aftermarket Clients". This is the same Company that makes the CF Wheels for the 2017 Shelby GT350-R. Their replacement cost for the Front Wheels are $3433.00 each and $4055.00 each for the Rear Wheels. I say a little Pricey to say the least! Their CF Wheels only come in Carbon Fiber Black and the same basic multi-spoke design!
I came across a company here in the US that also makes a Carbon Fiber Wheels for about $2000.00 per wheel +/-. Called ESE Carbon: --esecarbon.com/-- Their's is currently a 5- spoke Wheel design but lighter at about 13 Ib.s per wheel +/- compared to 18 Ib.s per wheel for CR Wheels. But Thanks Anyway and God Bless!
+David J. Smith Depends on what you consider reasonable. The set for the Ford Mustang GT350R runs about $15,000 US. The Mustang is a mass production car, though the GT350R obviously is not. So, chances are you won't be able to get a set for your car less than the GT350R set costs, at the present time. As for color, the market is very small, so I doubt you'll find must customization available. Although at $4000 US each, you can ask. :)
Thank You, for your Reply, Just in case you didn't notice if you click on the "Read More" Button under my comment...You will find that I found a company here in the U.S.A. that will custom make a Carbon Fiber wheel called the E1 (a 5 spoke design) for $2000.00/wh. USD!
BTW...It looks like "CR" tried to cross out my reference to "ESE Carbon", but the link still works...God Bless!
amazing
Looks like they are making the 2020 Ford GT500 CF wheels? Same design anyways
This is the GT350R design, based on the number of spokes
saw them on Jay Leno's Mustang GT......they cost more than the car!!!
really not the kind of wheel you want to scrape on the curb
can you show any pictures of damaged carbon fiber mags compare to heavy alloy mags
It depends, like many carbon parts if they hit something very very hard they will crack
typically all the performance high end wheels cost alot due to all the R&D put into them.
Australian Made = the best.
B T -- The Deakin university financed the establishment of this carbon-fibre wheel manufacturing plant in Geelong, Victoria. Please refer to the You-Tube video clip titled : “The economy needs big investments in innovation, experts say” and check out what Professor Roy Green, Dean of the UTS Business School at the University of Technology, Sydney - had to say.
@@jacaranda4u >> After you have listened to what Professor Roy Green had to say, take note of what is said below:
Sing Emma, sing my angel, sing for me …
You are the mask I wear,
It’s me they hear.
Sing Emma, once again with me, our strange duet …
And though you turn from me to glance behind
The phantom of the Opera is here,
Inside your mind.
In all your fantasies, you always knew
That man and mystery
Were both in YOU and ME.
Where in the world
Has he been hiding?
Somehow I know he's always with YOU and ME …
He, the unseen GENIUS.
@@jacaranda4u ** Bear in mind that today’s automobiles look nothing like the very first ones which have progressively evolved from the days of horse drawn carriages of Henry Ford’s times. Bear in mind also that the wheel had been INVENTED long before the wheels fitted to Ancient Rome’s chariots, as are depicted in the movie Ben-Hur. So, it can be said that the carbon-fibre wheel is not an INVENTION per say, but simply an INNOVATION as a departure from steel and alloy wheels. People who are passionate about yachting will tell you that carbon-fibre masts, booms and spars (as fitted to modern day yachts) already existed for quite a few years prior to 1984. Here are SOME innovations which had been based on the detailed blueprints of one brilliant Australian INNOVATOR.
(1) Conventional sweeping brooms - have evolved into - Pressure air flow Blowers [similar to (large) hair dryers.]
(2) Conventional sickles - have evolved into - Whipper-Snippers/Lawn Trimmers.
(3) Conventional Hammers - have evolved into - Nail driven compressed-air guns.
(4) Conventional toothbrushes - have evolved into - battery operated electric toothbrushes.
(5) Conventional dog leashes - have evolved into - extendable/retractable dog leashes.
(6) Garden grown tomatoes - have evolved into - Hydroponics’ tomatoes, free from insect bites & other blemishes.
(7) Basic rejuvenating creams - have evolved into - Aloe-Vera based creams which temporarily erase wrinkles by making aged skin taut and firm again.
(8) TV infra-red remote controls - have evolved into - Automobiles’ wi-fi remote controls for key-less entry.
(9) Sat-Navs used for yachts & ships navigation - have evolved into - Automobiles’ Sat-Navs interfaced with street directories.
(10) Vintage teleprinters / telex machines - have involved into - Computers connected to the Internet.
(11) Rough idling 2-Valves per cylinder conventional internal combustion engines - have evolved into - 4-Valves per cylinder Double Overhead Cam/Variable Valve Timing internal combustion engines.
(12) Energy inefficient air conditioners - have evolved into - outside air aspirated through water soaked felt pads into the house/building by means of an electric fan mounted inside a box installed on the roof of houses.
(13) Conventional production/distribution of electricity - has evolved into - electricity production/distribution supplemented by solar panels mounted on the roof of houses.
@@jacaranda4u >> Q: How did the true author of “Crocodile Dundee” identify and isolate himself as the TRUE author of this commercially successful feature film? A: By devising a formula based on 96 sets of key words which were (later) to be allocated NUMERICAL values. Similar numerical values have since replaced the superseded SYMBOLIC values in the algorithms of computer algebra.
The true author of “Crocodile Dundee” has improved the algorithms of computer algebra - as is used on the Internet by platforms like Google, Yahoo, Bing etc. - in the heuristics of their search engines - as well as by FaceBook and You-Tube. How much is that sheep dog in the window really worth in $ currency/cash terms today, Emma ?
Carbon fibre Barra?????
The Koenigsegg carbon fiber wheels are made by another company. There must be several companies doing this now. I would love a set for my widebody S15.
Keonigsegg make there own, they're not made by another company ua-cam.com/video/PGGiuaQwcd8/v-deo.html
Yes also OE for the Mustang GT350R, GT500 & the Renault Megane RS Trophy-R.
amazing. a little too high tech for me though.
Dymag has, in a way, completely destroyed the potential market. After seeing all those images of explosed wheels, someone must have a very short memory to go for carbon wheels.
Dymag is / was shit. These have been tested by Ferrari engineer's hence they put them on their F488 Pista.
You totally glossed over all the hard parts. Namely, how you put the fiber into the mold and all of the other steps before injection
We can't give away too many trade secrets - our competitors might be watching!
U literally showed nothing on hows its made.
That's probably because it's all proprietary, it's more about the concept and "hey, check out this cool technology"
I have no idea what this has to do with One Piece 🧐🤷🏽♂️
Generally a two-piece carbon fiber wheel will have a carbon barrel, and metal face, or vice-versa. Or it may have a carbon face, which is bolted to a carbon barrel. Ours is all carbon.
Doesn't show how it's made at all...
Just a shame the design is of a $100 wheel. 🙈😂
Not wife proof, ONLY for single men
Mazak 😂😂
