thanks for the pics ..helps alot..i think im gonna go with the c5 wheel...but since racing hart doesnt make it anymore and i dont want used...i have to go with the katana c5...looks exactly like the original c5 from racing hart...but probably not as good quality..oh well, thanks

TLluver

by the way i called katana wheels directly and found out that the katana concept 5 is made in the same factory where the racing hart c5 evo was made...the wheel is the closest replica out there...just if you wanted to know........

Are you sure about that? From what I know, Racing Hart wheels are MADE IN JAPAN but Katana's are MADE IN TAIWAN. How can that be unless they moved the factory from Japan to Taiwan. All Racing Hart wheels (1 piece's & 3 piece's) are made by a company called Takechi in Japan who also makes Lowen Hart wheels. Are you sure they were not talking about RH Evolution wheels. RH Evolution's are not made by Takechi and from what I know, some of RH Evolutions wheels are made in US and some are made in Taiwan.

If anyone has more information on this, please post.

people probably use the terms interchangeably but you are right about there being a difference...

only the m5 and m6 1-pc wheels, along with the 3-pc wheels and some other racing wheels like the cpf, cpr cp035, etc, are considered true "racing hart" wheels.

every other 1-pc wheel is a "rh evolution" wheel.

what i said was the c5(evo) was made in the same factory as katana wheels....evo means evolution....but ive decided to go with the k6 katana insted...cuz everyone has the c5 and it is getting played out

"the katana concept 5 is made in the same factory where the racing hart c5 evo was made..."

"what i said was the c5(evo) was made in the same factory as katana wheels....evo means evolution...."


FYI,

Racing Hart & RH Evoutions are TOTALLY DIFFERENT company. They have nothing to do with each other. RH Evolution make it seem like they are part of Racing Hart (Takechi, Japan) but they are NOT.
Racing Hart C5 Evo (1 piece ) wheels are REAL Racing Hart wheel made by Takechi in Japan, so that can't be right.
If you said RH Evolutions wheels, like C5000, that would makes more senes.

Here are some examples of "REAL RACING HART Wheels" made by Takechi, Japan.

Remember They are TWO Different company.

By the way, I'm NOT trying to argue with you. I just want to make sure that people understand the difference.



On more thing, I was just at acura-cl.com talking about same subject and someone told me that Racing Hart is sueing RH Evolution.

TLluver

all I know is that is what the guy told me at katana wheels and i wanted to let everyone know the info....if rh evolution wheels are not the same then why is every add in super street or sport compact car have them together in the same add along with every other wheel place and magazine...i mean maybe im wrong but check out www.dazzmotorsports.com and it looks like all the rh evolution wheels are the racing harts but 1 piece and all the racing harts are pretty much 3 piece...but i could be wrong.....just my 2 cents

ssk0771

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU.

That is why they are getting SUED by Racing Hart. RH makes similar looking wheels as Racing Hart and even make the name same or similar . RH Evolutions are very deceving. I found out about it a month ago from a inside source.

Anyways "chow"
