i would highly doubt that racing hart would have a line of wheels on their website that isnt acutally made by them and subcontracted out, true 3 piece wheels cost more than 1 piece, that could be the difference... the labor costs of making 3 piece Vs. 1 piece, racing hart puts their name on the center cap, so you would have to assume that it's manufactured by them, supporting a subcontracted company on a corporate website is advertising something to the effect of Nike having the phillippines national flag on nike.com
