Here's another PDK Cayman with 18" RAD10 Club Sport Wheels running Hoosier tires.

This customer is slowing converting this into a full time track car. He's had the new F43 wheels on for three track sessions and is totaly amazed in the differance in performance and handling with the new wheels and track tires!

Fitment = 8.5X18 front and 10.0X18 rear.

We have the wheels in stock for Cayman and Boxster applications.

 

Those remind me of Fikse...

 

Interesting design, very utilitarian, I like that it's not just another run of the mill rim. How do these compare in weight? Are they 1 piece forged? And any high res pics?

 

Devils Advocate:

The Radial 10 spoke design is a favorite for racing/track use for many reasons:

1) 10 Radial spokes increase stiffness and has less deflection than other busier designs.

2) Each spoke is aligned with an opposing spoke creating a linear complete beam.

3) Each lug pocket is aligned with a spoke. This is particularly important for Porsche applications, since Porsche has the largest bolt diameter, 5X130mm out of any other current sports car.

4) The 10 radial spoke design is easy to handle and much easier to clean.

Just a few points here on the benefits of this design. A bit hard to see the details of the wheel with the black anodized finish. Up close you’ll see that each spoke is chamfered on the front and back, this is not done by hand, but on our CNC mill. The backside of the wheel features many lightening pockets to help reduce wheel weight as well.

This is a 3-piece wheel featuring our exclusive AL6061-T6 German Spin-Form rim halves. During our development we increased the stiffness to the inner rims, again minimize deflection. This is much more important today since the high end sports cars such as Porsche come from the factory with much wider wheels and most of the width is going to the inside of the wheel.

Wheel weight for the RAD10 Club Sport wheel will range from 19lbs to 22lbs depending on wheel width, offset and caliper clearance needed. Each set is custom built to order and we have most Porsche fitments readily available for quick ship and can also apply our Race Bead blast feature to help prevent tire slippage if you’re using race slicks.

Prices start at $845.00 per wheel and all Formula 43 Wheels are manufactured and assembled here in Michigan.

 

That's quite a bit of engineering!

I will definitely keep you guys in mind when it becomes time, I'm sure that info helped other prospective customers as well. Thumbs up!

 

Thanks for the kind remarks. We spent 14 months developing & testing the wheels before we started sales and production of our RAD series of wheels.

You can also view the testing certificates on our website as well.

Thanks!

Hi,

What about for a 2011 Boxster Spyder application with Carbon Ceramic brakes?

 

Very nice. Looks very similar to the CCW C10 I just ordered for track duty on my Spyder.

 

Yes, no problem fitting the big Porsche brakes.

 

Wishing everyone a Happy Holiday!
