Where can we find more info out about the Formula?

Thanks

I don't belive Gordon did a build thread on the car. He is on Lat-G occansionally, but I know he's been busy helping Stielow assemble Mayhem currently

The car was featured in GM HIgh Tech Performance magazine about a year ago and Hot Rod did a photo shoot on it this last spring, but I haven't seen the write up yet. It does have a SM 400 single turbo, built by Thomson Engines in Wixom, MI.

Here's a quick you tube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4xEsA6ybvU

Thanks! I'll dig around for the magazine articles. I thought I recognize the car from a magazine. I just don't remember the details unfortunately.

you guys make some nice wheels that is for sure!

Do you have a weight breakdown on all your wheels with various sizes?

Great photos. Looks like a top shelf operation.

Thanks for the nice comment!
We do not have a published wheel weight chart. Being that all of our wheels are built to order using a differnt inner and outer rim combination along with a specific mounting pad height to determine offset / back space, all wheels will weigh slightly different. We design our wheels to be strong, stiff and lightweight for performance and long service life. Most of the 18" wheels come in approximately 20-23 lbs, depening on the rim combination and pad height. If you have a specific fitment including caliper clearance requirements, I can weigh all the parts required to build your wheels and provide exact weights for you.
Keep an eye on the forums, we will be launching a new wheel design later this week on a pretty cool 67 Camaro!
