Racing Hart has proven quality. I have a set of J5's that I wont ever get rid of for he 5 x 114.3 bolt pattern. Maybe use as a track wheel when it gets to that. Nice wheels you picked out there.

Good luck

As far as I know those rims (RH C5's I think?) are pretty good quality. The sizes, offsets and finish look nice and I think they are pretty popular. Go for it!

i might be wrong, but i believe RH wheels are made by DAZZ Motorsports, which are completely different from Racing Harts. Racing Harts are great quality, not sure of RH, but DAZZ makes some great wheels.

cost doesn't equal quality. For example, the cost of Kahn wheels rival HRE, but are a cast wheel of lesser strength.




OP, to answer your question on the difference between RH Evolution and Racing Hart:

Racing Hart is a completely different company than RH Evolution. RH Evolution is Dazz Motorsports' own brand, which IIRC most are produced in Taiwan. Racing Hart wheels are manufactured in Japan by a Japan-based company.

Dazz is also the US distributer for Racing Hart. Under the threat of lawsuit, Takechi Project (Racing Hart/Sprint Hart/Lowenhart/Eurohart/etc) accepted a licensing agreement with Dazz, who was previously selling non-Racing Hart wheels that were branded as "Racing Hart" back in the late 90s. The result was that Dazz's wheel line would be called RH Evolution. Dazz and other wheel shops have benefitted from the confusion by giving buyers false confidence; they will make it seem as though RH Evo and Racing Hart are the same company, or that RH Evo are the one-piece models and the Racing Harts are the multi-piece line. Which is ********.

Years ago Dazz did the same thing with the German-brand wheel Brabus. They licensed that name and made their own wheels under the name "Brabus Sport"; Brabus has absolutely nothing to do with Brabus Sport.

Anyway, there are exceptions; RH Evo does have a "Pro" line now that is multi-piece, and they have worked with Racing Hart to offer Japan-built models just like Axis has worked with Rays. I believe they have one forged wheel as well. I'm not saying that RH Evos are ****, they just aren't on the same level as Racing Hart. They are built by two different companies, in two different factories, in two different countries.

OP, for what it's worth, I think those are fantastic looking wheels and have shopped for them in the past. The purpose of my previous post wasn't to dog RH, just to clear up the confusion.

I've been running RH R5 Pro's on my G35 for years, a lot of hard driving on terrible pot hole filled Baltimore and DC streets. No problems at all except for about a square inch on one wheel where the clear coat is hazy, which can be attributed to me not really taking care of the wheels for a very long time.

I've lately been cleaning them and waxing them regularly and they still look great.

The cosmetic blemishes I caused by my lack of upkeep are not a big deal IMO as long as you're not entering any shows or super **** about keeping daily driven rims perfect, which I think is impossible to do anyway.

They are great wheels, very well made and I've had nothing but good experience with my set. Get them if you like them.

I got those RH R5 Pros wheels in silver, and they are amazing with a huge lip in the back, and no problems with mine. Always get a ton of looks from people. By the way, these are made in Japan, so the quality is good.
