Apparently wheelmax doesn't carry real racing harts anymore, they now have Exel? I just need to buy one wheel because it's bent now I don't know where I could order just one for fairly cheap, anyone have any suggestions? BTW I need a silver Racing Hart z5000

I think the z5000's are discontinued. Also Wheelmax has had Exel for a while so I don't think they are replacing Racing Harts with Exel its just that Exel makes alot of Racing Hart Replica Wheels. Anyways good luck finding that one wheel.

Unfortunately, everyone is right. My brother just needed one to replace his curbed one but everywhere he called, no one has it and told him it was discontinued.

Does anyone know if I could buy one of these wheels and just put my Racing Hart center cap on top of them?

How bad is the rim? You can try to see if someone can fix the rim. There are a few companies that might be able to fix it. I think the websites are

www.fixrim.com
www.rimpro.com

I am not sure if those are the right URLs. I'm sure theres a rim company around your area that might be able to fix it.

I don't know, you can't see it the rim looks perfect, but it bent, they told me when I was getting it balanced, and they said that they could straighten it, but it could crack, so I didn't opt for that route.

Go send your rim to them, they guarantee their work. I think they only charge $125. It's better than buying a knockoff and having 3 RH =P

good luck finding a Z5000

RS Limited, Exel, and Katana (also discontinued now) makes copies

the centre cap may not be a perfect fit mind u

i believe all the companies i mentioned above make their centre caps in plastic, whereas RH makes theirs in metal

There is no identical copy of Z5000. They are all different enough that you would notice that they are not the same, even if you could fit an RH cap on. Get it fixed. Also maybe try another shop, the shop you went to might just be wrong. I have seen it happen.
