VIETLUDE · 03-07-2002, 01:41 PM

I just found out on the www.Racinghart.com web site that they are making the C5 Evo again. Hey CEMENTUPS! Can you give a price with tires on 18s and 19s C5? Thanks man.

alright!!

my favorite. So clean and simple.

anyone have any prices?

Man, if they would only make the Racing Evolution C2000 once again..why did they have to discontinue such a work of art..

Noob question here, but were the old C5 strictly 3 piece??

So this new release are 1 piece? Hence, I can expect a lower price for these?

I just noticed something too, these "revamped" C5's are missing those little screw nipples arouond the outside perimeter of the rim right? Wow, they look so much nicer without em'

I love the C5's, but I have yet to see someone with a 5th gen Lude with them on. Does anyone have any pics?

i think your talking about the C5 3-piece.

the Evolutions always had this clean look.

the only difference i find in these rims than the old C5 EVOS are that it now says RH Evolution rather than Racing Hart

Type C5's were 3 piece.

Evolution C5's were one piece.

They just put them on GB

TIeNBoI · 03-07-2002, 10:13 PM

from my understanding is that the RH c5 is three piece (hence the 'little screw nipples') whereas anything that RH evolution releases is only one piece. i think RH evolution released these as replacements for the big demand for c5s. these look more streamlined than the old 3 piece (which is sitll the better of the two). as for the c2000, the c2000 by RH is discontinued whereas the RH EVO c2 is still being produced. i think i might be wrong but that's my understanding. whatever RH makes is sometimes in 3 pieces (c2000, c5) and RH evos are made in taiwan and are the 'official cheaper' alternative. correct me if i'm wrong guys

I just bent one of my 3-piece C5's a couple of days ago. It's gonna cost me a lot to fix it, but i have to since they don't make that rim anymore. You guys know of anyone willing to sell one rim to me...18x8 w/ 50 offset. Probably no one, but it's worth a try...

Racing Harts make 3-piece rims

RH Evolution (made in taiwan) are ALL One Piece

one time i went to a rim shop and was talling my friend that i liked the Racing Hart Z5000 and then the owner came over and started saying that i shouldn't be calling RH Evolutions, Racing hart becuse Racing Hart does not make one piece rims blah blah...

so yeah your not "supposed" to call RH Evoultion's , Racing Harts.

chameleon · 03-08-2002, 02:18 AM
