Ok, we all know that the Racing Hart C5 wheels are discontinued, for a while now. I have been trying to find a similar set of wheels that are nearly identical to these wheels. There were two versions of this wheel. One version came from Japan and it had rivets (representing a multiple piece wheel), and the other version was produced here, identical to the Japanese version, but with NO rivets.

I am trying to find a set that is similar to the US spec C5s. I love the thicker spoked wheels, basic, with no rivets. I am looking specifically for the 18" versions. If I cannot find a wheel similar to this in 18", I will buy the 17" Borbet Type E's, as they are just about the same.

The Racing Hart C5's are pictured here.



If any of you have an idea, please post it, thanks.

Don't the 350Z Nismo wheels have a similar look?

Why not just get the ones from the ebay auction that you are linking to?

There's about 2-3 auctions on ebay right now selling those rims.

Because most if not all of them are the Japanese version (with the rivots). And that auction specifically is for the 4 lug 114.3 bolt pattern. Won't do me any good. Otherwise, if they were 5 lug, I would just buy them.....

Yes, that is my second alternative. But price seems to be the main thing here lol. Those suckers are EXPENSIVE. I would have to sell of my left nut and rent the right one out to be able to afford those. Then I will still need tires.....BLAH.....But they may be the ones in the future.
