I'm not sure Ford ever said who was manufacturing the new carbon fiber rims for the GT350R but I was watching some Jay Leno's Garage and ran across this. Wether they are the manufacturer or not it's still fairly interesting but it does sound like they are the ones. If this is old news don't bash too hard lol.

Interesting video! I'm all for lighter weight components, especially since it seems manufacturers have been going bigger and heavier lately.

Id like to see their ply schedule. That can't be an easy layup using carbon plies on that geometry. That's pretty awesome. This year at SEMA there was a company doing carbon wheels but there's was made from carbon chop and just blown into mold.
