Honest to goodness Racing Hart wheels are great wheels.

The new RH Evolutions which are knock-offs are ehh in terms of quality.

Racing Harts are ok rims to buy......they are not strong like Volks so if you are looking for high quality rims you need to be looking at buying Volk Rims.

Those are not true racing hart's, those are the evolutions. Thats why they are so cheap(I saw these earlier). True Racing Harts are in the same price as Volk's and Work's

honestly for the price he is asking w/tires is very fair. ($1000, right?) I dont know about that one wheel that looks bent/cracked though.

Looked at the wheel again and it has been repaired, so at one time it would not hold air and the balance was waaayyyy off

so what do you think. tires are like 600 bucks. so figure 500 since they are used.

thats like 125 a wheel if they go for a 1000. which isn't bad.

Racing Harts are still considered ok or in the middle type of rims........I am now knocking Racing Harts but Volk is much better quality of a rim. Good luck on your choice.

Volks are actually above advan and ssr's as in term of quality and their pro mag line are the most expensive wheels you can buy out there.

Go for Racing Harts, 5 Zigen, Pro drive (if they make them for your car), ssr's, enkei's, DPE's , RH , just go with whatever your budget offers. But any of those are pretty good for the money.

Volk is very high quality wheel manafacturer, but not the best.

And true Racing Hart were not middle of the road wheels, they were quality wheels.

i had racing harts on my integra back in the days and hit a pot hole and cracked one of the wheels in half... then i had to wait for dazz to order me one wheel and it took months to get it and when it came, it wasnt even a new rim. i ended up with a displayed rim that had two little dents on it from someone banging it on a stand or something.
