Yep they're all good. I got my wheels from there and so have a lot of my friends.

What wheels are you getting?

Im getting the RS Limited Mase 17x7" 40mm offset 17.5lbs. I think im going to wrap them in 225/45/17 or 215/40/17 rubber but not sure yet. Which would be better, any advice?
Im going to get those then after xmas do a 300zx brake job on the front!!!
Here is a pic of the wheel:

I'd say 225/45/17's

Go ahead and get your tires from them too...they'll mount em and balance em and all that for you.

I think they have the Z rated Kumho's for like $85!

everyone is getting these rims now...i bought the racing hart Z5000 whenever they first came out...and after i bought them companies started making replicas like these. wish i could've saved myself $300.
They are nice rims though.

What size 18" tire are you going with? I may be able to get you a good deal on tires. I work at Merchant's in Alexandria on Rt.1 and i remember you saying you lived in Fredericksburg and work in Arlington. PM me and let me know if you want me to get you a price.

kenny, those racing harts are nothing less than quality, rh always comes out with cutting edge wheels, look at the C-5s and C-2s, for every wheel that they come out with i bet 5 other companies make a knockoff of the same wheel, be happy that you got them.

I agree I would love to have Racing Harts but i cant afford them the ones im getting are $154 and the Racing Harts are $250 a wheel for 18"s. But the look pretty much the same so no biggie for me im not worried about the name as long as they look good!
