1. What do you think is better?

2. What are you your wheels and why did you pick them?

Lookin at different aspects with thos wheels... Lots of the RH's look AWESOME but, are damn expensive, and heavy... The volks are good lookin, expensive, and lightweight... Its really up to you, what kinda aspects you are lookin at for your car... Lightweight, speedy... or Bling Bling, showy.... (not really bling bling, but more for looks) :D

I dont have aftermarkey wheels yet myself, but when I get em, I'm gunna be leanin more towards wheels for show...

I've had a few sets of Racing Harts. I love them, not a single complaint. You get what you pay for. I've had lots of experience with cheaper wheels and they just aren't worth saving a few hundred dollars. Volks tend to cost a bit more than RH, especially RH Evo. If you've got the money, go with Volks. The only problem with Volk is most of their super sweet looking wheels aren't available in 4 lug. I would order 18" Volk GT-7 this minute if they came in 4 lug.

The Racing Hart CP-035R's are actually slightly lighter than the the Volk CE28N's. At 17x7.5 they weigh 13.0 and 13.8 pounds respectively. At 16x7.5 there is about the same difference. They cost about the same and imo the rh's look a lot cooler. If I had the money, I would go with RH CP-035R's.

I say volk's, i see a lot of RH around, they seem to commercial for me...

I'm hopefully going to get some 18" GT-7's, if i can get the right offset.


Expensive but worth it.

Maybe you see a lot of RH Evo? That's all I around our area and on this site.

racing hart cp035 is just as expensive as the volk te-37

they both weigh about the same, and look just about the same on our car.

If you do want a more of a "show" look then I would go with Racinhg Hart but for a more "race" look go with the Volks. I have 18" Racing Harts Multi-peice CR's and have replaced two of them already and I haven't had them 6 months. Keep in mind though I am a very shitty driver. Just know they aren't that strong. Also if you want a deeper dish you can acheive this by changing the offfset of your wheel. Be sure to mention this when you are ordering!~AJ

VOLKS or for that matter everything RAYS makes lol. If you really got deep pockets got for some mugen MF-10s or ADVANS.

I've been saving my cash for a set of RH Evolution CP8-R...They are a forged 17" wheel polished and 12lbs. to boot!

I think they look sweet:)

by the looks of it...they both have their pluses and minuses...i guess i'll just have to go with the flip of a coin...only the coin has to be spent on the rims, too!!!

oh, btw...it also depends on the body kit that is gonna be showcased with the rims, no?

the only kit that is, so far, appealing is the buddy club...and with that...i've been thinking about the ce28n from volk, or the multipiece c4 from racing hart... the mugens would be sweet but i want 18s and mugen's biggest is 17x7.. =/
