Default Formula 43 and Detroit Speed at Good Guys auto cross

Once again the team at Detroit Speed take the test cars out to prove the product they build and support!



Detroit Speed uses the Formula 43 RADS5. With sculpted spokes to reduce weight and exclusive spin form technology for rim shell strength Formula 43 wheels are a winning combination!

Very nice. Have you guys considered making a true five spoke with scalloping on either the sides or back or both for lightening?

I'd be interested.

We're in the middle of a website update and doing photo shoots of the RAD 5 and a new wheel design that will be launched in about (4) weeks.

What do you think about the side sculpting of the spokes on the RAD 5?

The sculpting reduces over all weight of the wheel by 1/2 pound while still maintaining its strength and stiffnes. It also adds a lot of dimension to the wheel as well.
