For carbon-fiber wheels, there are only a couple of options out there. Carbon Revolution supplies wheels for the Ford Mustang GT350R and sells its one-piece CR-9 carbon fiber wheels for about $16,000 a set. Carbon Revolution says its products will improve acceleration, handling, steering response and tire grip, while reducing stopping distances, fuel consumption and road noise.

With a starting price of more than $35,000 a set, exclusivity is virtually guaranteed. Visit www.vitesseaudessus.com.
