Default Wheel/Rim Quality?

I was just curious who will get most vote on making best quality wheels/rims out these brands.

I just pick few top/popular brands EXCLUDING custom made wheels (Iforge, HRE, DPE, & etc)

I know there are many other wheels out there that are very good quality but I wanted to pick few popular brands.



Volk

Work

Maya

Racing Hart (NOT RH)

because you ordered racing hart wheels. racing hart and rh are two completely different brands.

http://www.rhc.co.za/3piece/index.htm

http://www.rh-wheels.com/

Hence my post about how so many people confuse them and why in the poll it says (Not RH).

in this site, http://www.rh-wheels.com, the RH is completely different from the RH on my wheel. The RH on my wheel is the same as it is in this site http://www.rhc.co.za/3piece/index.htm. Don't you know that different companies sell different wheels of the same wheel company. I once bought enkei pk6 for my other car. But I couldn't purchase them from enkei. I had to purchase them form discount tire direct. they weren't even in the enkei catalog.

So when people say RH, do they mean the RH from the second site you posted?

Unless my information is out dated, I am positive that Racing Hart & RH's are two different brand.

Dazz Motor Sports came out with RH which has nothing to do with Racing Hart but to make it look like RH is Racing Hart and priced them similar. Its marketing tactic.

Racing Hart wheels are made by company called Takechi LTD in Japan who also makes Lowenhart. All of Racing Hart wheels are manufactured in Japan. Countries like Japan have government regulations requiring aftermarket wheels to meet certain criteria and ensure proper fit quality control standards.

RH wheels are made all over the world like Taiwan, China, Philippines, US and maybe more. Some of their recent 2 piece line of wheels are made in Japan although I am not sure who make them. I don't know if its true or not but I also heard that some of RH wheels are made by American Racing.

Quality of the 1 piece RH wheels are not same as Racing Hart although Dazz want you to think they are manufactured by same company so quailty is the same.

Once again RH wheels and Racing Hart wheels are NOT SAME company.

Here are some example of Racing Hart wheels (NOT RH)

CR (1 piece & multi piece)
CPF-R
CP-035
C4 (1 piece & multi piece)
type C (old model)
M5 (1 & multi piece)
C5 (old model-multi piece)
and there are more.

Here are some examples of RH wheels.

C2
C5
GT5
F10
J5
J8
R5
R7
V7
C3 (old model)
and more.
Some of the Multi piece RH wheels are Made in Japan like R5.

^^ you are correct that they are different companies but RH wheels are german wheels.

Directly quoted from the site "All RH wheels are made in Germany and meet or exceed TuV standards."

www.rh-wheels.com

The RH you see on dazz motorsports have nothing to do with the company I am talking about.

None of the above.

RH wheels that most people talk about is Dazz Motor Sports Brand.

Dazz subcontract wheels manufacture to make wheels for them.

I am aware that the websites you posted are not Racing Hart or RH wheels I was talking about.

It looks like there are more RH or Racing Hart name.

It looks like you learn somthing new everyday.

RH wheels that I was talking about is the one on Dazz Motorsports website.

The ones that most pepole get confused.

I didn't even realize that there were more wheels manufacturer with same/similar name.

Racing Hart http://www.dazzmotorsports.com/wheels_rac.asp

RH http://www.dazzmotorsports.com/wheels_rhe.asp

Yea I looked at the wheels on dazz motorsports, I wasnt aware of those either. I just knew that when I had the german made RH wheels on my vw, most people were like oh racing hart i know those, and i had to always explain that they were not racing hart. Didnt mean for this to grow into such a big deal.

So the RH that you have are made in Japan and are a sub company of Racing Hart.

The RH wheels that I had were a different company in Germany and have nothing to do whatsoever with Racing Hart. End of Story.

You are right. R5 is made in Japan like I stated before but that does not mean they are made by Racing Hart. There is a possibility that its made by Racing Hart but I have not heard that yet.

Lots of RH wheels are made by different manufacturers. I know most of RH 1 piece wheels are made in Taiwan or Philippines and some USA.

Take Maya's for example, they are also Dazz brand but I know they are made by Riverside Co in Japan who also makes Traffic Star and some other wheels.

You're so excited about the Work Emotion Cr wheels...

I think the price on Work Emotion wheel is fair enough even there's no group buy...
