nope - they are the new RoJa Formula 55 - and I don't think that they are "officially" out yet... contact Red6 for more info on RoJa wheels, he can get you the hook-up...

they are definitely one of the wheels I have on my list - I've always loved the look of thin 5-spoke wheels and I always though the SF-challenges would be perfect if it weren't for that crazy stuff inside the rim - I think these wheels are exactly what I've been looking for...

They used to be Gramlights 57Pros. They're still made by Rays and distributed by Roja.

No they are not.

gram lights have a recessed center. These do not.

This is not Rojas rebadged wheel. That would be the GL 57F pro which is a two piece wheel that has rivets. Also the Gramlights have wider spokes.

Here is the 57pro in gold. You can see the difference for yourself

formula 55 is not the rebadged gramlight 57fpro, that one is called the r2-5

formula 55 (the one pictured above) is a completely new wheel, BASED on the formula 5 design (with the addition of rivets... whether these are functional or not, I can't say... red6 would know )

www.rojawheels.com

you won't see the 55 there yet because it hasn't been officially released yet as mentioned above

The Formula 55's should be out in about another month.

They come in 20" only and the lip in the rear is four inches.

They are a really nice wheel.

Anyone wants get a set hit me up.

I get deep dicounts on these rims due to sponsorship.

Heres some more pics.

Red6,

What springs/camber set are you using to accomodate those 20's?

Damn, they only come in 20's? I really like these wheels, but there's no way in hell I'm putting 20's on my car - are you sure they aren't going to make a 19" version?

Yep they are only offering the Formula 55 rim in 20" only

Well if you looking to save weight and want 19" size the Formula 5 are the same but without the revits.

They come in silver and gun metal.

23lbs front 25lbs rear.

Heres a pic.

A nice looking wheel, but at those prices, are they forged or cast?

they are forged - actually the cheapest forged wheels I know of (at least the street prices) - you can get the formula 7's on EBay for cheap (and through Red6 for cheaper)

BTW, Red6 can you PM me a price on the formula 5's in silver?
