Exel Wheels RH-5

Anybody know anything about Exel Wheels? I really like the RH-5s. Just trying to see if anybody has any experience with these wheels and are they heavy or cheap looking or what.

Those look like knockoffs of the RacingHart C5s.

I was looking at getting the RH-5's and so I emailed excel to see how much they weigh and they had no idea. They look nice in gunmetal with polished lip

I know a lot of people get exel wheels b/c they're a cheaper alternative and they make replicas of almost every style. www.wheelmax.com has wheel and tire packages for a very reasonable price but I've also seen a lot of people hit pot holes and get dents or bends in them. For the price, I'd say give them a try and just watch where you're driving.

of course exel is crap compared to RH or racing hart. any knock off is always gonna be shittier than the actual brand its ripping of off. IMO exel are just like ADR wheels, RS limited, etc. i like there line-up for the prices.

i would go for a set of exel rims if i didnt live in a area with rough roads with a lot of potholes, dips, bumps, etc. i say go for it if you live in a clean area. i wouldnt go so low profile on the tires tho which may help bent rims.


also try www.wheelsnext.com

aight...preciate the feedback guys. there is a lot of rough roads in alabama...so i dont know...i either risk messing up a cheap set of wheels or a nice expensive set of wheels. i dont know...i was just trying to get some feedback on these wheels...i already have rims now. just looking for a change. it'll be awhile before i change, saving to get body work done. thanks.

like i said...every wheel company has wheels that look the same as other companies so doesnt exactly make them knockoffs. i was just wondering if the exels will hold up as good.

My opinion on Exel----->

Cheap and rather well quality!

I've been running 17x7 Gunmetal Exel P-5's for well over a year and a half. No bent lip, no cracks, no blemishes. I'd buy some Exel's again if given the chance!

www.Wheelmax.com is as far as i know, their only vender.
