Default FORMULA 43 Press Release RAD (S6 & 5) / Stielow's MAYHEM


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE “FORMULA 43” RAD S6 & RAD 5 New Wheel Designs (Livonia, MI) Oct. 12th, 2012.

FORMULA 43 proudly announces two additional wheel designs to its "RAD" series of wheels. The RAD S6 (Split 6-Spoke) and RAD 5 (5-Spoke) are now available in 18" and 19" diameters for sports car and pro- touring applications.

The two new wheel designs were created by the FORMULA 43 team using the latest in FEA analysis and three dimensional modeling. The RADS6 and RAD 5 wheel designs keep the styling of a balanced, highly detailed CNC machined forged wheel center that looks stunning on a wide range of sports cars including pro-touring applications.

The RAD S6 features a "Split-Six Spoke" design with a splayed "V" and large chamfers on each spoke. Each "V" is balanced with an opposing "V" keeping the wheel design symmetrical.

The RAD5 is a traditional "Five-Spoke" design with a new 21st century look. Each side of the RAD 5 spokes features our sculpting to reduce weight and also add additional dimensional definition to the wheel.

"I'm excited to announce our latest wheel designs as we've been working hard to develop these. We don't rush out new designs just to add another wheel option. We create designs that will look stunning on any application whether it's a 1967 Camaro or new 991 Porsche. Our goal is to offer wheels that are appealing for many years to come," states Sales Director Travis Johnson.

All of the RAD series of wheels feature: Rotary Forged aluminum center sections for superior strength and stiffness, Spin-Form AL6061-T6 aerospace aluminum rim halves with an additional flange step on the inner rim for increased stiffness, roll formed threads for military grade aerospace 12-point hidden fasteners and metal TUV approved high temperature valve stems. All wheels are TPMS compatible, can use the stock OE lug nuts or lug bolts and are hub centric.

FORMULA 43 is a leading manufacturer of custom aftermarket wheels for modern sports car, pro-racing and pro-touring applications. Located in Livonia, MI USA, FORMULA 43 manufactures and assembles all wheel components in house including its exclusive German "Spin-Form" AL6061-T6 rim halves.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Mark Stielow’s MAYHEM features the RADS6 Wheel (Livonia, MI) Oct. 12th, 2012.

FORMULA 43 is proud to announce that the RAD S6 has been chosen as the wheel of choice for Mark Stielow's latest Pro-Touring Camaro called "MAYHEM".

MAYHEM is the latest evolution of Stielow's pro-touring cars and features an 877 horsepower GM LS engine, massive Brembo brakes, Detroit Speed & Engineering suspension components and FORMULA 43's RADS6 wheels in 18" front and 19" rear.

The RADS6 is the latest wheel design in the RAD series of wheels. It features a splayed "V" six-Spoke design; rotary forged center section and FORMULA 43's exclusive German "Spin-Form" AL6061-T6 rim halves.

"We worked closely with Stielow in developing a specific wheel fitment for MAYHEM", says Sales Director Travis Johnson.

Johnson States, "The Brembo brakes, Detroit Speed mini tubs, flared fenders and the Goodyear tires installed on Mayhem created the need for a unique wheel fitment in which the FORMULA 43 team was able to accommodate quickly and also integrated our new RADS6 wheel design as well. The effort is a great example of FORMULA 43 working with the customer and meeting their specific wheel needs."

"This is the second project I have done using Formula 43 wheels. The wheels are top notch in quality and the engineering shows through in the final product. The guys have been kind enough to let me come over and see the parts for the wheel being made. It is fun to see parts being engineered, manufactured and then tested. I have been extremely happy with my wheels and the support Formula 43 supplies," states Mark Stielow.

"Stielow has many options when choosing products for his pro-touring Camaro's. We're honored that he has chosen FORMULA 43 wheels again. We wish him the best of luck in the Optima Ultimate Streetcar Invitational and his campaign of MAYHEM over the next year," states company President Ralf Guennewig.
