Need help and advice from my fellow acurazine members

wats up guyss,

Welll im deciding onn whether not to get a set of wheels...i can never get the whole offset and lug pattern thing so i need help....im looking into the Racing Harts CR's in graphite in 19x8.5. I got quoted 3200 shipped with Michelin PS2's 245/35 Tires. The offset the guy told me is 40. The question is How would that look on my silver TL with the 40 offset? What you guys think? Also am we able to put on 19x9 on our tls? Thatts 1 questions.

My other questions is how the are the guys with the tein SS tuning their suspension and how is the ride quality with the differant settings? I am also planning on getting a set of the SS. Thats my 2nd questions

My last request is for someone thats good with the computer to photoshop a silver TL with these wheels..i would reallllllllyyyy appreciate that... Thanks alot guys for your helppp....

40 offset on 8.5 wide wheels will look good, but don't go any higher. I don't think the setup will cause any rubbing either.

I once test fitted 19x9 wheels with 45 offset and 245/35 R19 tires and they fit. It didnt rub either.

I tried a 19 TSW wheel (very similiar to the Racing hart) with a 40 offset and it wouldnt clear the calipers on my 6 spd manual. They should be fine on a auto tranny though. A 19x9 wheel will fit with no prob and the 245/35 will look sweet!

PS. Arent those 245/35 expensive?! I tried to find some and the lowest price i could find was $175 each for some Falkens.

I dont know for sure how big your brake kit is.. If i were a guessing man i would think that a 45 offset would clear your brake kit (making them the same size as the Brembos). $3200 does sound a little steep for 19's with tires. You can get 19" R.H. C2's w/ 225/35's for $1999 on wheelsnext.com. Just my

Actually, if it's real multi-piece Racing Hart, $3200 with Michelin PS2 is OK. PS2s are not cheap.

We all should know by now that Racing Hart isn't the same thing as RH Evo.

I called a friend that works for Discount and he said the best he could do on those tires was about $271 each (plus shipping). The Racing Hart CR's are about $475 each.. So i guess $3200 mounted, balanced and shipped would be OK.

PS. What "IS" the difference between Racing Hart and the Racing Hart EVO?? I guess i missed that memo

This is what I know about Racing Hart and RH Evo. Of course, if someone who's in the know wants to correct me, feel free to do so.

Racing Hart wheels are made by Hart Wheels in Japan (www.hartwheels.co.jp). Hart Wheels also makes Lowenhart, Bersaglio, etc. The wheels are generally of high quality and light weight.

On the other hand, RH Evo was initially marketed by Dazz in Southern Cali. Dazz basically copied Racing Hart's designs, modified them a little bit. They contracted a number of wheel manufacturers in Asia (Thailand, Taiwan, China, Philipines are some of them) to manufacture the wheels for Dazz. In the early years, as far as I can remember, Dazz marketed them as Racing Hart Evolution. Some of the styles were C2 and C5. Later Dazz changed the name to RH Evo, due to a lawsuit from Hart. After they changed the name, they launched more styles, like C3, S15, etc. Later they contracted a company in Japan to manufacture the Pro Series, like J8, etc.

Travis, my car was about 2" lowered on Tein Basic when I tested the 19x9 wheels. They were Yokohama AVS Model7. No rubbing. But I didn't really push the car at that time.

I think with a +40 offset you should be fine... my friend has a set of those RH CR on his WDP TL, they look really good in person. To answer your other question about the Tein SS... I used to have the Tein basic on my car but i've swap them out for some SS. Tein basic is a lot more stiffer, with the SS you can adjust the dampening so if you have the money for the SS I would suggest getting it.
