Not that I currently race or have carbon wheels, but are carbon wheels legal in any lrrs classes?
They must be legal for superbike classes. You'd be crazy to run them though.
Breen blew one up pretty good a year ago.

The combined sheer awesomeness of that bike allowed it a temporary pass on certain tenants of physics.
I think Rick Breen has them on his S1000RR also. My reading of the super bike rules has them allowed. Nothing below super bike though.
That said, I have 4 bent/dented rims in my basement. That would be $6,000 of junk carbon if I had carbon wheels. Not worth it in my opinion.
I think you're incorrectly assuming the blows that caused your current wheels to dent/bend would damage CF wheels, given the testing vids that have been shown by BST I wouldn't be so sure of that.
When was the last failure you've seen? I've seen a bunch of mangled aluminum and mag wheels at the track just this season alone.
Yeah those BST wheels look to be stupid tough from the videos I've seen. Definitely tougher than a normal cast wheel.
GT runs by GP rules, so legal.
I thought they were banned altogether, but I reviewed my rulebooks and 2005 was the last year they were banned.

Don't be a dick... I am running out of excuses as to why I am so slow but I am pretty sure that I have narrowed it down to the wheels.
Listen, my bike may be light years ahead of my shitty ass riding, but if I want to light a bonfire with money that I clearly can't afford to dump into useless shit, the. I should be allowed to!
So, have they shipped yet?

Close your eyes, look deep in your soul, step outside yourself and let your mind go.
Why so much carbon wheel hate? They're common place in the west coast club scene, not to mention pro...
