Racing Hart wheels
Ok I am thinking about these wheels but the real question is are they any good? Does the finish last are they well made ? Any opinions ? How about where you bought them any suggestions?My favorite store The Tire Rack does not carry them and that worries me a bit .So let's hear some reviews .And thank you in advance 
.I am considering either the C5 or the C2 for my VW .

If you get the Racing hart evolutions they arent that great of quality but the price is affordable. The mutipiece ones are much better quality and are worth the price.

If you're talking about real Racing Hart, they're of high quality. Light weight, strong, and pricey.
But if you're talking about RH Evolution, they're Racing Hart copies. Some ppl say they're made in China, Taiwan, Philipines, etc. Nobody seems to know exactly. I have a set of C2 on my Accord, and they're pretty light and strong. I think the clear coat finish scratches rather easily.

Nice RR32CLS but 19's are not exactly the best idea for the New York tristate area sized taxi cab eating potholes .I am going to go if I go with 17's max .

the only Racing HArt's that aren't junk are the 3 piece ones. All the latest ones were made so they could attack the cheapy low end market. Personally though I think Racing Hart's styles are outdated except for maybe the C2s and C3s. C5s are played out and have been for quite a few years. The only wheels though that will be able to withstand a lot of abuse and stay light weight will be forged wheels. At that point you're spending a pretty penny.
Have you looked into BBS / SSR / Advan / Volk / OZ racing wheels? Any of these would be a good quality wheel and lightweight to boot.

I have the RH Evo C5's which are almost too popular these days. 
For the price, I think they are a good wheel, not great. I've had mine 6 months now and I think one of my rims is slightly bent already. I can't recall hitting anything major so I'm kinda disappointed. That and a couple of my center caps seem to be peeling. 
My roommate had an older set of Evo C2000's and had 3 bend on him. I guess that comes with the territory but our roads are pretty good up here for the most part. Overall I think they are a good wheel for the money.

Thank you everybody thank you .Yute the rims are popular but I love the look ,you got a full car shot with those on?By the way these would be strictly summer wheels I have the 16 inch stockers for snow duty .VW sells BBS RC for some 329 a piece but I have a hard time sticking that much into rims considering I would still need rubber at that point .So overall it seems RH or RHEVO is a decnt but not great wheel .I can live with that .Thanks again everybody.

I went from the C-2000's to the GT5 when I cracked my rim on the way back from the West Coast Meet. I think it's a good looking 5 spoke alternative to the C5. Excuse the filthy rig. These are pretty light too.

I'm with Jens on the 17s... the roads here both downtown and even highways due to constant construction are brutal. I want as much tire as possible between the road and my rims. About the only place I can think of that's been worse was when I was at UMich. You'd think with the auto industry... and their proverbial "muscle" stopping other forms of mass transportation in the area... that they'd at least keep the roads nicer in the area. I guess weather is a factor, but not really any different than here on the east coast... same exact climate only 2-3 days sooner... minus the lake winds. But I digress...
Even before I bought my CLS I had my eyes on the C5s... but as I started to pay closer attention to modded cars in the area, I too quickly realized how popular the rims were. I love the 5 spoke look... even a very plain 5 spoke like the AT Italia Inox, the Alessio F1, or even a 6 spoke like the Centerline RPM which weighs in at 13 lbs
But all this seems shameful with the winter weather coming in and the potential beating any new rim is going to take out on the road Must... wait... until spring.

DAZZ was founded in 1989 in San Gabriel, Calif., in a modest 800-square foot facility. This new company quickly earned the reputation for having the latest trend-setting products, while offering the highest quality and service available. The original printed advertising was made up of simple, but effective, black and white ads in the leading enthusiast publications of the time. These advertisements caught the attention of consumers, as well as leading wheel and tire retailers and distributors, across North America, leading to the formation of a strong distribution network.
Within five years, the original facility was no longer capable of handling the inventory required to service the growing customer base, so the company relocated to a 10,000-square foot showroom and warehouse one block north of the original location in 1994. This new facility established a presence in the local Los Angeles retail market that contributed to the continued rapid growth of the company. Additionally, the larger facility led to increased inventory levels needed to service the growing wholesale distribution network that had been established. Within a few short months, an additional 15,000 square foot shipping and warehouse center was acquired in order to service the expanding business.
By 1999, the company had, once again, outgrown the facility and began a search for a location large enough to not only handle the existing level of business but to also afford for future growth. A 35,000 square foot facility was found in Baldwin Park, Calif., and, for the third time in the short history of the company, a new location was established. The rapid growth over the previous four years was largely attributable to the continuously expanding wholesale trade, which led to a change in the philosophy and direction of the company, resulting in the withdrawal from the retail market in order to offer stronger support for the wholesale distributors that had been so instrumental in the growth.
April 2003 found the company once again relocating to larger quarters capable of supporting the additional needs of the business and the additional functions required to service the market. A new 50,000-square foot building was constructed to house the warehousing space required, as well as to incorporate self-contained assembly and R&D areas. An additional 10,000-square feet is dedicated to the administration, sales, marketing, and design center and photo studio, featuring state-of-the art LAN cabling and computer network.
Since the founding of the company in 1989, the firm has established itself as the market leader in both the "Tuner" and "Premium" vehicle marketplace, and has solidified long-term relationships with many premier product lines, such as Lowenhart, Hartge, RacingHart, MAE and MVR, as well as establishing its own exclusive product brands of L-Sportline, Maido, Maya and RH Evo. The expertise, knowledge and resources necessary to support its now International marketplace have been acquired and put in place to continue to lead the marketplace with new, cutting-edge and innovative products.
