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...

those are great looking wheels and i really liked watching your video on how they are made. So for every set of wheels you guys are spinning each inner and outer rim half? if so that is beyond freaking cool because most if not all rim makers buy off the shelf parts and just mill centers and assemble.

i love your classic step lip design. Do you offer exposed hardware?

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?

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.

For many specialty applications like Pro Touring cars, we recommend a black anodized inner rim to finish off the wheel which helps hides the brake dust and road grime.
