Are RH Evolution wheels knock-off Racing Harts?

I looked on the Racing Hart Japanese website and did not find RH Evo there. Are they imitation racing harts?

RH evo rims are still Racing Hart, but they are one piece instead of three. less cost.

here is a comparison. i've seen 17'' Racing Hart M5's 3pc going for about 2000.

and the RH evo's M5's 1pc going for about 1300.

But they are still made by the same company? How would you rate the quality of the RH brand compared to other 1 piece rims?

i dont have them... but they are still made by the same company.

the benefit of the 3pc rims is that if the lip gets bent, them you can unscrew it and change it out. they are stronger than the one pc....at a price.

These guys are right on target. They are made by the same company and marketed in the U.S. by Dazz motorsports. www.dazzmotorsports.com

Wish I had the $$$$ for the 3 piece. What do you think of the new RH Evo C3 wheel :



Or is this one better:

I think the new C3s kinda look like the stock 99 3.0 rims, which are the ones i have. Just without the lip and the HR center cap.

I do not believe they are the same company. In fact, I asked CLpower the same question and he said they were not. They are just marketed to confuse people. Racing Hart is the real deal. RH evolution is a knockoff but I have heard good things about them. Good quality at a good price.

I knew there was something shady about that company, although they do make good imitation racing harts. I wonder where they are made Would you think 5zigen would be better quality for cast wheels?

Racing Hart sold their Evolution series to Prime a little over a year ago. Prime has been known for making REAlly shitty wheels, but have done good on the evo series. I'm on my 2nd set and love them.
