Steve HED started the wide-areo rim revolution, he’s been working on them since the late 80’s. They introduced the first wheels in 89 in the Jet style which incorporated bladed spokes, deep rims and aero toroidal shaps and were granted the patent for the toroidal and hybrid-toroidal rim design which allows the tyre to form the leading edge of the bulged or oval shaped profile. HED now shares this patent with ZIPP. I'd suggest HED has done the research to back up their claims ..
