Default Experiences with Formula 43 wheels

I had never heard of them but they were recommended for my new car.
Has anyone had experiences (good or bad) they can share? PM me if you prefer and I will keep it confidential.
Thanks

I have them on my race car and they are awesome. True motorsports wheels.

I have a set I bought used. They are pretty darn solid - but quite heavy compared to say a forgeline GA3R or GA1R

Rick - I may be mistaken (may not have been Formula 43) but a Cayman at the Summit Race had one break all the way around the spokes. Dan Jacobs was taking care of the car so he would know for sure whose wheel it was if you want to give him a call.

OZ wheels and CCW are both make great track wheels. OZ are very well priced and one of the most popular on the track. .02

We've had 2 centers crack after approx 30 track days. Formula 43 warranted both no problem
It did take awhile to get the new ones - approx one month
Over the last 25 years I have had virtually every major manufacturers wheels break
they are a wear item and warrant close inspection after every use
