motoiq Article on Carbon Fiber Wheels

Billy Johnson posted this on the Facebook page so I thought I'd share it here. Lots of good info. This image was particularly informative.

Because of this stiffness, carbon wheels can run less static camber than aluminum wheels. This improves braking, acceleration, and consistency.

That is an interesting point. I've long viewed 'every' component in a car (suspension wise) as springs...chassis, arms, tires, bushings, etc. But I can't say I thought there was anything near a degree of flex in most wheels. Nice article.
