Ok, I have decided that I want to get a set of gunmetal racing hart type crs (18's) for my flint mica tc. The thing is everywhere I look these rims are like 500-900 a piece, just for the rims! until yesterday.... I opened up an import tuner mag and found an ad by WheelsNext and saw that they had a set of racing hart type crs with tires with free shipping for like 1500$. anyone ever deal with them because from what i have been seeing this is one hell of a deal.
thanks
Justin

 

I haven't dealt with them yet, but that is where we are going to be getting wheels for my girlfriend's tc.

They offer free shipping, free lowering springs, free rim repair for a year.
Also one you buy one set, the next set of rims you buy from them you get $50 off, then for every person you refer to buy rims from them, you get an additonal $25 off.

They seem like they will be a pretty good company to deal with, just call and talk with them on the phone, better to speak to someone then just to order off the net.

 

thanks for the quick reply, still wondering if the wheels are racing harts or just replicas because of the huge difference in price between wheelsnext and everyone else

I know, I had priced racing harts in the past, and they were usually running around $2500 with tires from the wheel shop I used to go to in Tn.
If you find out information from the wheelsnext.com let me know.

 

IIRC, the Racing Hart Type CR comes in a multi-piece and monoblock version. The expensive ones are multi-piece .They are much higher quality, have fat lips, and made in Japan I think. The cheaper ones on WheelsNext are probably the 1-piece monoblocks . They have no lip and might be made by RH Evo in China or something.

Check the Racing Hart catalog: http://www.hartwheels.co.jp/cat_all/catalog.htm

 

those are multi pieces...
the lips have a higher polish then the RH evolution wheels...
behind the wheel is also polished... not as high of a polish as the outer rim but still has an attention to detail...
you can get custom offsets... mine has a fatter lip in the rear...
They are forged. I am not sure how the RH evo wheels are constructed..
most are a 60 day wait unless someone stocks them...

at 500+ a wheel they are expensive... but i am happy with my purchase... good luck on your decision

 

Looks really good oneslowxa.

Thanks for the information.
