[Formula43 Wheel]

We just finished this set of our popular RADS5 for Detroit Speed.
Polished outer rim shell, clear anodized center and black anodized inner rim shell.

LOVE em... look great!

Very Nice.Now if you only made a 13 spoked wheel.

Looks like a crisper version of a Fikse wheel except you probably get these when you order them. Really sharp.

Do you offer a Technipolish similar to Fikse? That finish is what kept me going back to Fikse in prior years.

I'm loving the anodized inner portion for maintaining appearances.
Not that the rest of the wheel isn't perfectly capable of invoking daydreams...

Here's a photo of a set of RAD20's 18", light brushed centers (only on the top of the spoke to keep the beauty of the detailed machining) powder clear coated and polished outer rims.

What do you think?

LoL this was my exact thought seeing this thread for the first time today. Very nice looking wheel!

[BBC71Nova]

These are VERY nice looking wheels. Obviously a quality piece.

Like some others... if only my book was thicker

13 is unlucky...like having a green race car!

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.
