Racing Hart C5 cracking problem? - Honda Prelude Forum

HuynhM08 · 10-25-2006, 04:33 PM

I just picked up some C5's today and I noticed that there were little cracks in the rims. Not just one of them, but a couple on all four.

The cracks are appearing where the spoke meets the outer dish part of the rim. I was wondering if this was normal wear and tear or is it something serious, and if I took it in to a wheel shop, would they be able to fix something like that? I'll have pics up soon to show what I'm talking about. Hopefully it won't be too much of a problem. Thanks in advance.

is it the RH Evo or the Original C5s from Japan.

RH Evo one-piece. Damn, those are the original C5's from Japan on yours huh? That's a clean ass prelude. Nice sig.

Yeah they are the original C5s. I dont have them mounted on the car anymore. I have Volk GT-Us now. I've been meaning to sell the C5s. I even fully polished the entire rim.

The one you have was when C5s went to Taiwan. Its made of aluminum I believe. Got any pics? Its hard to see that cracking on you. Sure its not just curbage?

Yeah, I'm sure it's not curb rash. Maybe it was caused by potholes or something like that due to the low profile tires. Here are some pics of what's happening. It's not that great of quality cuz it's from my camera phone, but it'll give you an idea.

looks like cracks in the finish....... honestly some better quality pics, like borrow a digital camera with a macro mode...it'll help tremendously 4 us

yeah pics are kinda helpful....man i might take it to a tire shop and get it dismounted to see if its cracked on the inside. its an odd place to get cracks so i might agree with akber.
