4 Attachment(s)
here is a deal this kid is going to give me...here are the pics of the wheels.. they apparently have scratches and curb on the lips..but how much do u think it will cost to fix this and is this a good deal? they are coming with tires also.. 400 bucks is what he wants..good deal or what?

low04 02-19-2005 08:38 PM

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

Akutenshi 02-19-2005 09:49 PM

**** lol, if u dont want em. ill take them scratched up :rofl:

its an ok deal, since theyre banged up pretty bad. id still take it tho cuz its RH C2s.

jttegx 02-19-2005 10:23 PM

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?

Boilermaker1 02-19-2005 11:02 PM

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.

RH = Worth $400
it doesn't look too bad, what kind of tires? how much tread?
Looks like a sweeeet deal to me :D

GuliziaN 02-20-2005 01:50 PM

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

HondaGuy12 02-20-2005 07:31 PM

yeah im debating..thanks for the opinions tho..

HondaGuy12 02-20-2005 07:33 PM

yeah im debating..thanks for the opinions tho.. only one of them is really messed up..so i would just repair the one of them..but do u think they would look good on my fiji blue pearl 04 coupe? can any1 do a photo shop for me?

Akutenshi 02-20-2005 07:56 PM

tons of ppl on these boards have c2s on their blue coupes. maybe not fiji, but definately epb.

too bad i dont live closer 2 you, cuz shipping is a bitch. but i would so jump on this deal man!

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.

the ones im getting are 18's..does that make a difference?

lostid 02-21-2005 12:33 AM

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.

jttegx 02-21-2005 12:41 AM

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 fcuk em up anymore.

Yeah these are 18's... yeah thats what i was thinking..so even if i cant fix them ill sell them..

silvrbreez02 02-21-2005 08:55 PM

Definitely jump on that man. They'd look sweet on your car. Post a pic of your ride and I'll chop them for you.

aight man here you go....

http://www.7thgencivic.com/memberrid...daguy12_c2.JPG

didn't come out too bad. bottom line...they'd loook good on your car.

itskalvin 03-01-2005 10:56 AM

are the center caps and rings included? becaise if they arent they cost around 100 for all four, maybe even more

krayziebonet4l 03-01-2005 12:37 PM

id get them if i were you

BOOSTLESSD17 03-01-2005 04:46 PM

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. :rofl:

boombazokajoe91 03-01-2005 06:15 PM

jump on it ..... good deal ...

PicCoLoboi02 03-02-2005 07:20 PM

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."
