Carbon rims probably aren't going to be used too much in commuting, at least not yet. However, carbon fiber is conductive. I've had carbon fiber fly rods snap in my hand just before thunderstorms hit. I'd certainly try the same trick if I ever decided to buy carbon wheels...which isn't anytime soon.
