The RAD 14 wheel design by FORMULA 43 offers a new modern look to the classic euro mesh styling. The larger widows and precision machined chamfers create an elegant look that also performs in the most demanding racing environments. Custom built to order for each specific application, the RAD 14 is available in 18" and 19" diameters with a wheel width range from 7.0" to 14.0" wide and can clear large brake caliper and rotor upgrades.

All FORMULA 43 RAD series of wheels feature an aluminum forged center section of optimum strength, minimal deflection, lighter weight and quicker lap times on the track or autocross. Also included is our exclusive German "Spin-Form" AL6061-T6 rim shells manufactured at our facility here in Livonia, MI USA.

Finish options available in anodizing and powder coating. http://formula43.com/finish.html

Feel free to contact me for wheel and tire fitment consultation as I can work directly with you or your car builder to determine the best/optimum fitment.

Typical build times when an order is placed is three weeks plus shipping.

Travis,

These are one of my favorites of your offerings. Do you know the weight difference between something like an 18x9 Torque Thrust II and your RAD 14 18x9?

Thanks,

Tony,

Thank you for your positive feedback! Quite a few differences between our RAD 14 and the classics TorqThurst II wheel. 1) The RAD 14 is a 3-piece design vs. the TorqueThrust is either a single piece cast or 2-piece welded. 2) Weight, RAD 14 will most likely weigh up to 40% less in weight per wheel. 3) Stiffness is greater on the RAD 14 due to it's forged center section and our exclusive German "Spin-Form" AL6061-T6 rim halves. 4) The RAD series of wheels are designed and engineered to race in the most demanding environments from the 24hrs of Daytona to the streets of the Long Beach Grand Prix. 5) RAD 14 made in the USA, TorqThurst made in ????????

These are just some of the many differences in the two wheels.

Thanks!
