Racing Hart Wheels

I recently have been looking for prices on 18” Racing Hart C4 rims for my FD. However, I am curious to know where people are purchasing these rims.

I have read posts on both high and low disc sizes for brake fitment, but haven’t found any site that offers this information. Anyone that can provide a source that has been reliable and reasonably priced would be greatly appreciated.

There's a few sites that sell them (www.wholesalehyperformance.com is one). What sizes are you looking for? Typically, you will need the high-disk option to guarantee brake caliper clearance, which means you will need to order custom offsets for most of the larger widths.

I am looking for 18x8.5 in the front and 18x9 or possibly 18x9.5 in the rear. I was also wondering about what places work with custom offsets as well.

Have you dealt with these guys before? Lately I have been coming across some pretty shady online businesses. Thanks for all the info rynberg.

With a staggered setup like that, I would run the following off-the-shelf offsets for the C4:

18x8.5 front: high-disk, +41 offset, with 235/40 tires
18x9.5 rear: low-disk, +49 offset, with 265/35 tires

If you wanted to wait (and pay more) for custom offsets, I would either get:

18x9.5 all around, high-disk, +50 offset, with 265/35 tires

OR

18x9 front, high-disk, +50 offset with 255/35 tires
18x10 rear, high or low-disk, +50 offset with 285/30 tires

OR

18x10 all around, high-disk, +50 offset with 285/30 tires -- will require aftermarket coilovers

I've never bought anything from www.wholesalehyperformance.com but they've been around for quite a while and seem to be a well-run organization. I'm just not familiar with dealers for Hart wheels. You could always check with Mackin also.

Thanks for all the info rynberg. I’m thinking about going with the staggered setup as of right now. I suppose all I need to do is drop some cash.

That would be one freaking contact patch!
