Dimples and drag, yet again.....

Just stumbled on this little article, can't see any particular application, but was interesting how thay were using it on rims for racing cycles and how the angular geometric dimples perform better and it may be the corners that give the main benefit.

Can dimpled aerodynamic surfaces reduce drag? | Racecar Engineering
