he new hoops weigh just 18 pounds each, versus the 33-lbs weight of a similar aluminum wheel. On top of slashing up to 60 pounds in unsprung weight, there's such a reduction in rotational inertia – 40 percent, versus aluminum wheels – that Ford actually has to recalibrate the magnetic ride control system and springs.
Aftermarket companies are slowly coming online with them. I still rather not get them and instead stick to traditional materials for now. Most of us have no real need for them anyways... it's just another form of bling.Those Cf wheels do look very sleek but if Ford does not offer them you may need to look to your local wheel manufacturer for a custom made set and those will cost a pretty penny!
you would need to change your settings if you changed wheels regardlesss though. The source code would need to be changed to allow for a larger range of adaptability...So basically they are so light that Ford would have to make other changes to the vehicle in order for everything to work properly? That sounds quite expensive. I'm sure I could find some lighter rims that wouldn't require quite as much money/work.
I didn't realize that just changing the tires would require such changes. That can't be the case with every vehicle though.you would need to change your settings if you changed wheels regardlesss though. The source code would need to be changed to allow for a larger range of adaptability...
Actually it is the case with every vehicle, its the laws of physics and how they carry their rotating mass.I didn't realize that just changing the tires would require such changes. That can't be the case with every vehicle though.
