Racing Harts!! Help choose!!!

Hey guys I had a post about needing help choosing rims and this is it... http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=199848
but I need help again. Tell me if you guys like the ones I had in the last post or these Racing Harts. And could you guys give me some input on what would look the best? either 17" or 18" and how much you guys recommend I drop my car if I get either 17 or 18. The Racing Harts are the C2 and the C4. Thanks alot guys!!

I say go for the C2s in 18". I have Racing Hart S15s in 17 with a 2 in. drop and I love them. I like the center cap better on the C2s. Good Luck.

c2... my favorite RH evos. as for 17 or 18, its up to you. rule of thumb is 17 is a great overall size and 18 is leaning towards more of "show".

bigger you go,, harasher ride, risk of damaging rims on potholes, curbs, etc. i guess 18's would be nice to have if your not driving over harsh roads.

18" if your going for just mild drop, 17" if you plan to tuck. my .02

c2s!

17 or 18" is up to you. Depends on the ride quality you like, the roads you drive, etc.

I'd do the C4's in 18's, because they are newer than the C2's..either way though, both wheels are sick

Yeah, I'm considering the same two wheels. I'm leaning towards the C4's in 18's for the same reason as MishBallzEM2 stated. Also, Truehonda told me that the C2 one piece wheels were discontinued. I still haven't confirmed with anyone else, though.

That's what Edward from True Honda told me. He said Racing Hart was planning to stick to multi-piece wheels. I'd check with another vendor first to confirm this. Just to make sure, of course.

As far as the C4's, in the single piece they are generally the same price as the RH EVO C2's. Once you get into the multi-piece C4, that's when you're talking a lot of $$$.

OK :

C2 and C4 1 peice are not RACING HART

they are RH evolution produced for DAZZ motorsports..

RACING HART (hart motoring) is going to no longer approve DAZZ to make 1 peice cast wheels under use oftheir name for the fact the name HART is now associated w/ peice of crap wheels made in maylasia.. so they have already forced stop of production for C2evo, C4 1 peice, C3 evo, Gt5, etc.... they are only approving "RH pro" lineup=J8/J5 and the new J5 G10 you will see out in august/september(1 peice forged w/ stepped lip ;-) so... think of this if u buy C4 1 peice and C2 evo etc... in aboiut 5 months their will no more wheels if u mess up one of yours=resale goes down on any wheels "less than perfect"

sooo.. buy some J8/J5 or wait for the SEXY J5 G10 omg their hottttt
but expect to pay a HART price 400-600 per wheel.
C4/CR/CX/CPFtune/CPFtuneR/etc will still be made under HART..

please view HART japan website for actual HART wheels all unlisted are made by DAZZ motorsports and are no longer liscensed to be produced under HART name
