Aren't these RH Evolutions?

http://www.wheelmax.com/Wheels/racinghart.htm

It says Racing Hart for every one of these rims but aren't they the fake ones, the RH Evolutions?

Oh, you don't know huh? Lol. Take a look here:

You will be very disappointed.

I know RH Evolutions are not Racing Harts, but on the first site I listed they say the rims they show are Racing Harts, but look to be the RH Evolutions, not true Racing Harts.

Lol, nah. But did you ever wonder why they were so much cheaper? I didn't really before, just figured they were made more in bulk and in the typical "ricer" sizes(17x7, 18x7.5) and offsets. Makes you want to look into everything before you buy it though huh? Did you go to www.racinghart.com ? Its not racing harts website, its a company that sells rims.

Holy **** I see a lawsuit coming. I can't believe how flagrantly wheelmax has been false advertising these wheels as "made in Japan = Racing Hart" wheels. Even in their magazine ads it's the same way.

Somebody frikin' sue them already. i know Dazz doesn't care cause it makes their wheels sound expensive when they're just good looking replicas for FWD cars. hehe.

Every single one of those wheels is an RH, not a hart wheel. I can't believe it. This is why guys like myself get frustrated trying to explain to people that those wheels have no prestige whatsoever. NONE. At least that's my expertise opinion. That **** pisses me off. Don't know why, but it does.

Hopefully people will see this one to and soon the whole world will know that they are knock-offs. Nothing against the wheel. They're just not Racing Harts. FYI, Racing Hart only has like 5 wheel styles or so in the US anyways. Mostly multipiece and available in staggered fitments.

BTW, if they were racing harts DAZZ wouldn't have wasted their time renaming them RH Evo's. No worries fdracer, millions I mean millions of people are under the same assumption.

If I was a judge at a show they would go right in line with ADR, RS limited wheels and such. I even like Rota better because they're cheaper, lighter, and follow the same build technology. Plus race proven.

Wouldn't you need to buy a set to be able to sue them? Or Racing Hart themselves should be able to sue them easily. The company would prolly just go out of business though and start back up as another name.

I was referring to Racing Hart suing, but since DAZZ is the US importrer, I'm not sure if they would do anything. That only makes their product look better.

From a consumer standpoint you should be able to sue them after purchase for false advertising. I think one of us should buy a set on blowout and then sue like mad.

Then how come they are on the Dazz website? The Evo's are all 1 piece.

What do you mean? DAZZ just sell rims. And they got to the domain "racingbeat.com" first.

I'm not gonna argue with anyone on this. The fact is that RH's are not made by HART wheels of JApan. Nuf said. If you really want to convince yourself that a set of Racing Harts sell for like $700.00 for a set then be my guest.

I'm purely trying to educate people that these are misrepresented and misunderstood.

Thanks, Rishie

Hey rishie, while your in here(lol). I asked you a while ago about the fitments of some rims and can't find the answer. I know that 17x7.5" rims I would want like 35mm offset right? But the ones I want only come in 45 or 48mm offsets. Can the 45mm ones work? What will they look like, be sticking out kinda far or what? Oh and maybe you could help me find the right rims. I want the subzeros, konig and rota and I believe some other co. make them. Is there any company you know of that makes them with a +35mm offset? Thanks.

I'll look into it for you. You can always run spacers otherwise. You'll need to give me a week as I don't have much time for research prior to sevenstock/

thanks, Rishie

This is the practically the exact same situation when Avanche was importing the Do-Luck line. After some time, Avanche helped create the Monkey Bars, which are the exact same design as the Do-Luck Rear Cross Bar.

More or less, it falls under misrepresentation. Unfortuantely, I don't think Racing Hart is going to do anything because Dazz imports and clears a lot of inventory for them.

I'm not tryig to argue, just confused as always. I know Rishie is the wheel man and he should know the truth.

I thought Dazz was an importer for JDM wheels, like Mackin is. Therefore I thought these had to be JDM wheels and real.
