How can a carbon fiber wheel cost the same as aluminum?
A. Raw Carbon Fiber material costs more and is worth more than aluminum. However, since we use half the weight of material to build a wheel, our manufacturing cost is not dominated by the cost of the raw material. The cost saving is made up in our manufacturing efficiency. Much of the cost of aluminum wheels is in manufacturing, i.e. forming, welding, polishing, etc. HiPer has none of those costs.
