Default Who makes the TRD wheel?

Does anyone know who makes the TRD wheel? I found a Racing Hart GT5 which looks exactly like them so I think it is them minus the TRD logo on it.

U.S. TRD wheels are racing hart. TRD Japan is a diffrent story. Get the japanese ones if you can.

It's the same wheel as the RH Evolution GT5.

That does not mean it's Racing Hart quality. RH Evolution seems to be a part of Racing Hart but that doesn't mean standards, materials, or manufacturing locations are the same. There's a reason RH Evolutions are less than half the price of Racing Hart wheels.

Yeah, I put a deposit on mine today at town fair tire.. they were $1499.99 for the set of 18x7 /w 215/25-18 Yokohamas mounted balanced and installed with locks so I think it was a good deal..

There were some cheaper ones around but I really big the look of them so I spent a couple extra bucks.

Also if anyone is looking around for wheels and has a TFT around they offer a road hazard package for $12/wheel and if your tire gets a nail, curbed ANYTHING for the life of the tire they give you a freebie, this is really good for us as our sidewalls are so low it happens to us more than normal.

Exactly right, RH Evolution does not = Hart Japan.

It's sort of a cheap spinoff on the real deal Racing Harts.
