Racing Hart C5s Evo

Folks,

If anyone is sporting a RH C5s of any size, especially, 18s, I'd appreciate it if you can post some pics. I'm trying to decide on the size (17 vs. 18) and I wanted to see how they might look before I lay down my hard earned money.

Thanks.

I think there might be some pics of some cars with c5 look alikes in the members rides section. I believe one guy had a set of 18's that looked pretty dope. it all depends on how low you wanna go or what kind of ride you want. 18's may ride stiffer and may look better with a small drop. 17's may ride better and you might have to drop your car more if you don't want a gap. Either that or buy bigger tires.

yeah i dont think that racing hart actually makes that line anymore. Knock offs look just as good tho lol. Thats the next set of rims I want too, 18's black with a polished lip is my plans

I think I seen a site that sold the racing hart c5 evolutions in black with polished lip. Supposingly the evolutions are knock offs but I like the look of those because it's one solid piece instead of having that rivet look. I wanted to get me a set of those but the price is way out of my budget right now.

Myinca,

Those look sweet and almost exactly what I'm looking for. Yeah, you're right; RH doesn't make the c5 evos anymore; they're discontinued and it's almost impossible to get them anywhere. I've seen some listings for them on ebay but they're 17s. I've given up and are willing to try the knokoffs. Your excel looks awesome. Where can I get them? How much were they? I've notice your location indicates LA. Is that Los Angeles. I'm in Glendale. Can I get these rims locally some where? If not, where's the best deal on line. Also, I have a 01 civic ex coupe with a Tein Coilover drop. I'm not up on all the technical details, but do I need to be concerned about offsets when purchasing these rims? What exactly are the offsets? Is that the range in width of the rims? Please let me know these are still available. Ideally, I'd like to get the RHs but these look like an awesome alternative, due to look and price.

Thanks in advance.

p.s. What's up with the first pic? It looks like its kind of skewered.

Myinca,

Must have overlooked my inquiry earlier, but where can I get a hold of those 18s exels? Website? How much did they cost and what were the tire specs? Thanks.

Thanks for the tip Myinca,

Yeah, I tried doing a search on the net and Wheelmax was one that was listed but as you indicated, they don't seem to carry it anymore. Maybe I'm too late. I hope I can still get them.
