Brandon, I know that Marsh Racing Wheels used to make some back in the 90's, but I'm not sure they are still in business. I'll ask around. Front or rear?

Marsh burnt down and was never rebuilt. Marsh rims were alum inner half and carbon fiber outer half. The carbon fiber was mixed into some kind of plastic and moulded I think. The whole idea was that in a crash the carbon fiber half would absorb and break to save the rest of car. They did work well in that way. Problem was that tracks did not understand them and thought they might be unsafe. Another factor was that they broke up and pieces were sharp and if track never got all pieces picked up they would cause flats. I have 2 front rims. They would be ok for antique car but tracks would not let you run them. I thought Taylor Weld was making them for minisprints but do not know about sprint cars.
