The Ford Shelby GT350R is the most racetrack-capable car as of late and part of the reason for that is because it features carbon fiber wheels. Even more shocking is that these wheels will come standard with all Ford Shelby GT350R models!

This is the first vehicle from a mainstream automaker to have carbon fiber wheels as a standard equipment feature. The best part about the Ford Shelby GT350R is that it is complete street-legal. Surprising, right? We thought so. Read the rest of this entry >>
