Its is dependent on the rims though – I have 2 carbon rims that look identical, they weigh different amounts, and have different layups though – but to the naked eye there is no difference. Rim A & Rim B.
Rim A is laterally stiffer by 4.8%, but offers more vertical deflection (‘compliance’) by nearly 39%
Rim B is 15% lighter than rim A.
Rim A is 5% stronger (impact testing) than Rim B
None of this means anything in the world of carbon V alloy, just that there’s no proper carbon v alu argument without knowing the comparable numbers. Rims can vary alot….
