naa, both cost mad $$$. Unless u're refering to the RH evolution line which are the one piece wheels made in Taiwan. 3 peice Racingharts are expensive!

[Impulse]

Yeah, I was thinking of the evolution series. That's all I can afford, or want, to spend on rims :)

[Jesse IL]

The ONLY Racing Hart wheels that are light are the CP-035's. They are forged and very expensive. They are also lighter than the TE-37's. The rest of them are fairly heavy, especially the 3-piece ones. Actually, some of the RH Evolution wheels are lighter than the Racing Hart wheels.

I have some nice JDM Volk GT-A in gold, 17x8. It is a 2 piece rim their extremely lightweight. Email me if your interested CarbonGT@hotmail.com very low price-brand spanking new, still in the boxes

[Maelfyn]

I'm thinking about some 15x6.5 TE37 Volks myself.

no contest

volks!!!

RH evolutions are made in Taiwan? Get out! Are they still forged?

[Celica RZ]

neither! talkin about some SSR's or Advan's or BBS! :biggrin:

RH - the light ones are:

Cp-035

Cp-08

and Cp-10

I say get the RH either one of those above look really good and lightweight too, although the bottom two (cast not forged) are not as light as volks, but they are a good combo of looks, price and weight. Personally I like the Cp-10, in bronze please!

[Maelfyn]

My God. Finding a 15" racing wheel that uses our bolt pattern and offset is a nightmare. 35-39mm offset right?

[TheX-Man]

I really want the cp-035 they're lighter then the volks, and i like them better b/c the volks are great but are really played out. But those are just too expensive. I like the cp-8 and those are like 17lbs with the 17", and I think they're some good group buys at www.groupbuycenter.com fairly cheap I guess. Way cheaper then both te-37 and cp-035.

Check out the new CPO35R. They look awesome. They come in a sweet polished gunmetal color. If it were gonna blow $2k on rims i'd get those.

RH Evolution rims are definitely NOT forged rims.

[da808GTSboi]

how about 17 inch or 18 inch????

[6SPDGTS]

I luv the cp-10 and the ssrgt1.

*shrug* up to u. I'd say 16" is ideal for performance. U're car isn't gonna handle better with 17 or 18" rims. It will be slower because of the added weight. If you plan to race a lot go with the smaller rim. If u just have a lot of money to blow and want to look good get 17s or 18s. They'll still weigh less than the stock rims if u go with the CPO35 or TE37. Another advantage of a smaller rim at the track is that u can let the pressure out of the tire and since there's more rubber u'll be a larger contact patch with the ground and better 60' times. I usually drop to about 22-25psi at the track.
