thats a pretty good deal but it will cost around 125/wheel to have them refinished

good deal if tires are still meaty and correct sized.

400... i wouldnt pass that up. if your picky about rims and condition, then i'd stay away. im picky about my wheels and i would jump on that for 400.

they come with lugnuts?

They don't look TOO bad. Its definitely fixable, for 400 bucks, I'd pick em up and make a project out of it. Lots of guys on Honda Tech refinish wheels because they're old school and they have to. A lot of good refinishing info on there, but you can DIY fix those lips and get them to come out damn good with a little time and some elbow grease.

I don't know... If they are pretty banged up I would stay away. But thats me, and I'm a perfectionist.

Actually, I just had one of mine fixed for 80 dollars including the new clear coat. It now looks just like new with no sign of any scratches. They filled in some scratches then turned it on a lathe, then repainted. Looks like new. And I just bought one wheel and it was 274 for just one wheel. So the price is certainly worth it.

IDK, they look pretty beat up. But still sounds like a good deal if you can get them fixed up. I personally would go with 18's.

wait, those are 18's ? if so, even better.

i would say your pretty much paying for the tires (assuming there good tires). and ride those til there gone. and most likely you'll find a buyer whose willing to pay 400 for just the rims itself as long you dont **** em up anymore.

I'd get em, even if they are damaged , they can be fixed and it should be cheaper then going out and buying a set of 4.

it's not really Racing Harts, it's RH evolution. They're imitation Racing Hart Original 3 piece C2s which has rivets on the rims and a deeper lip (i had em before). They're using the name to attract buyers with their similiar style to real Racing Harts. Still though...$400? that's a really good deal for 18s esp. with tires. I see 17s sell for that price. One thing with RH evolution rims is that through time the coat fades very easily i heard. Racing Hart=JDM RH Evolution=imitations.

Taken from wheelspecs.com

"Notes: RH Evolution is NOT the same as Racing Hart. Many of the RH Evolution wheels closely resemble Racing Hart wheels in styling and nomenclature. Many wheel distributors and retailers purposefully or inadvertently misrepresent this. Racing Hart wheels are high quality, manufactured in Japan, and prices should reflect this, compared to the RH Evolution wheels."
