Thinking of switching it up. .. .

[Type X]

:) kinda tired of my rims already :p
http://a8.cpimg.com/image/D4/BC/17774548-70f5-02000180-.jpg

i am thinking of getting

either

17" volk gold gramlights
http://www.importhookup.com/wheeloptions/pictures/volk_gramlight_g.jpg
OR

17" volk le37-T's
http://www.forperformance.com/le37t18_cs.jpg


BUT for NYC daily driving i would rather bend up some gram lights than some limited edition 400 a piece wheels ;):cool:

[JoshuaVTEC]

[fishboy]

haha, fine! make up your OWN mind then.:D

[phatsi]

roll the grams X!!:D :D

[KickerSi]

Are you going to keep your rims? Are they Sub-zeros? I would go with grams. TE-37 are copied way to much and every damn ricer has them. I had immitations on my car and I hated them soooo much I traded the guy back for stock rims.

so they're not Racing Harts...
RH Evo is not made by Racing Hart...
Though they would like you to beleive they are...
Advertisements by shops such as Wheelmax, DAZZ, etc lead you to beleive they're the same company by placing the wheels next to each other in their ads/catalogs...

You must have the RH CP-35's...
They're knockoffs of Racing Hart CP-035's (5 times as much $$)...
I know...I had them on my Maxima...
They bend extremely easily...
Bent two on a manhole cover, not even a pothole...

OH CRAP I gotta go call the shop I bought mine from, my Evo's were shipped direct from Dazz! This must be a major scam! How could they do this?

hahahahahahaha best rumor cultivated on the internet evAr...

By this statement I'm not sure if you beleive me or not.
RH Evolution is not made by Racing Hart and if you don't believe me why don't you call up DAZZ for yourself and they will tell you the truth.
RH Evolution is a gimmick to make people think that the wheels are Racing Harts.
THEY ARE ACTUALLY MADE BY "PRIMAX" beleive it or not!
Go to the Hart website(japanese) again and you will see that they don't make RH Evolution wheels.

http://www.hartwheels.co.jp/cat_all/catalog.htm

Sorry to burst your bubble.

PS: Find anywhere on the wheel or box that says "Racing Hart" and i'll give ya $1000.
:angel:

[JoshuaVTEC]

Thousand bucks, REALLY!? Lemme get my camera and show you the "Dazz, Brabus, Racing Hart" stickers all over the boxes and close up's of my wheels!

Get the LE37 polished lip looks illmatic. If you dont buy those then get spoons! Would look ill on your car!

[MugenR]

The LE37T's have been done by someone in your area. The Fizz EP3 has LE37's on it, and it looks like your car only Silver. Get Something else, just to be original.

Alright, smartass... :p my bad. Typed the wrong thing by accident. I had Racing Hart in my head when replying because off all the rants about what brand the wheels were. To clarify myself, go with the LE-37s.

Someone is either going to be really poor OR really really pissed off that he bought thought he has the real thing.

On one hand, someone has to sell like 5000 decals to come up with $1k

OR

someone will be really pissed. Like buying SPOOM :)

Mike's got money to burn.

I'd go with the grams. TE37s are played almost as much as slips :)

josh = rh evo c2's

i used to have rh c2's and i can ASSURE you that dazz makes them as per their sales rep

talking on the phone with him for over a month when i had some probs with my c2's in cali

No offense meant, but I'm just trying to let you know the truth.

OK lemme get this straight, now "dazz" makes the RH evolution wheels? and Racing Harts?
Someone lied to you.
I called Dazz myself today just for the hell of it and asked again personally, here are the sales reps exact words.
ME: "I'm interested in some RH Evolution wheels, I was just wondering if they're made by Racing Hart?"
REP: "No, they're not made by Racing Hart, but they are licensed by them" <~~ yea right.

Last time I called before I ordered my CP-35's I asked the same question and that rep told me straight up that they're not Racing Harts, it's an entirely different company. Not that i cared, they were light weight and inexpensive so i ordered them.
I just know better than to be delusioned by someone that's just out to make a sale by decieving you.

Just do a google search and you'll see this has been discussed plenty of times on other forums.

Also, go outside and look at your wheels, authentic Racing Harts are engraved with their name/logo....

[HondaMan]

I like the 17" volk le37-T's. :)

[Mugen Power]

I've heard the same thing that ADAMnQuickCIVIC said.

[tsa1]

joshSI, the gram lites are not VOLK's but both are mdae by RAYS. VOLK RACING is just a line of wheels RAYS makes. they also make "Eurostar" and the new "G-games". Volks are the best and lightest they make too.

[ADAMnQuickCIVIC]

the gram lights are cast if i'm not mistaken.
that's the only reason they're so cheap.
still light...just not as strong as forged.

I think this might be similar to ASA. I was looking at their rims and right on the rims they have a logo that says "Licensed by BBS".

http://www.tirerack.com/images/wheels/asa/swap/asa_em9_ci3_l.jpg

http://www.tirerack.com/images/wheels/asa/swap/asa_em9_ci1_l.jpg

Maybe the case with RH and Racing Harts is, RH did indeed license the look from Racing Harts, paying them royalty. Just what ASA did. So, in that's correct, quite a few people got duped then.

In the case of ASA, on tirerack.com, they talked about ASA consulting with BBS Germany to help them build their factory and they did license the BBS design. At least they didn't stamp it as BBSi or iBBS :D

[todaCspec]

Neither, Gram Lights are still cheap wheels and LE are being rocked around. Why not go 5-lug and 17" white CTR rims. Only one person has it in the West coast and you'll be the only one w/it in the East coast. At the same time youll get bigger brakes and those funky CTR calipers. So if you do get that blower for JRSC you'll be able to stop in time. You'll also save money by not getting those 16" 4lug performance package wheels(CTR look alike made by Enkei) for winter wheels and save money on painting them white.
Yeah, sounds like a plan!

[ShowstoppersUSA]

Yo Mikey! Hey man, if I were you I would get the LE37's. You know why :angel: :angel: ......cause I'm getting the gold Gram Lights;) :D !

Rocky the Showstopper

[hamproof]

http://www.wheelspecs.com/specs/wheelbrands/221

Notes: RH Evolution is NOT the same as Racing Hart. These wheels are made in the USA. Many of the RH Evolution wheels closely resemble Racing Hart wheels in styling and nomenclature. Many wheel distributors and retailers purposefully or inadvertently misrepresent this. Racing Hart are high quality wheels manufactured in Japan, and prices should reflect this, compared to the RH Evolution wheels.

What's the conclusion on RH Evolution and Racing Hart rims?

[stephen]

racing hart cps are like 480 bucks apiece.

rh evo cps are a bit cheaper.
