Post 100% carbon fiber wheels ?

Anyone know about these ?

"A Japanese company by the name of Weds Sport has come up with the first full carbon fiber wheel. They unveiled the wheels with what they call their Dry Carbon Wheel Project at the last Tokyo Auto Salon show."

I've heard of them before and it looks like they are a carbon fiber version of their SA-70 wheel. I sent an e-mail to them to find out any information that I could

Nope, these never made it to production. They were ludicrously expensive and not very safe.
