"Jacques" has said that his cast Racing Hart EVO CP-035s weigh 16lbs in 17". He has also said that they do not have "Racing Hart" stamped anywhere on them...
Given this, I would not be surprised if all of the various incarnations of this wheel - Racing Hart Evo, Rota, and Konig - are all identical wheels made side by side in the same factory.
Even if my theory is incorrect, and they are not manufactured by the same company, weight should be the same or at least *very* close to the 16lbs quoted for the "Racing Hart Evo" version...

Andrew, I doubt they're made from the same factory. The center hole pattern on the Koni and Rota are practically the same. The RH Evos are different, and more recessed. Besides, if I decided to have bought my casted versions now (vs. 3 months ago, when the Koni and Rota weren't out yet), I'd still go for the RH Evos. I've heard too many stories of warped rims (from Koni and others) caused by even the smallest of potholes. My old "scuffed" rim, that sits in my basement now, was able to withstand a hit from my friend's car when he hit my car back in January. Anybody want it
?
I may sell my casted rims for the forged version, because I want something even lighter for autocrossing.
