Carbon wheels are not a big novelty in the automotive industry and are usually placed on cars in which a lower weight is sought. In the particular Bentley, this was also achieved, but it was hardly the desired effect, given the weight of the SUV.
However, we must note the characteristics of the rims, which, although they have an impressive size of 22 inches, weigh only 6 kilograms per rim, which is a significant improvement over aluminum ones. In addition, Mulliner mentions that the new wheels can help reduce tire wear due to the hardness of the material from which they are made.
–The wheels are certified by the German TUV and have passed a number of special tests on new standards for non-metallic wheels. These include holes, various pressures and more.
