We chose to build a ten spoke for many of reasons.

-Each spoke is aligned with another spoke giving the wheel a linear beam for greater strength.

-Each lug pocket is aligned with a spoke, again for greater strength and uniformity.

-Easy cleaning.

-Quicker pit stops for wheel and tire changes by being able to get you hand on a spoke quickly and easily. Note our RENN (race) wheels in 5-lug and centerlock applications are all ten spoke wheels.

As many of you know by now, our company and personnel have quite an extensive background in the wheel industry which you can see in the design and manufacturing of every Formula 43 wheel.
