Tenzo also makes a wheel that looks exactly like that. They are called the Apex-5. I know they'll be cheaper than the Racing Harts. Just a suggestion.

Racing Harts are a real nice quality wheel, VERY much worth the dough.

Anyone have feedback on Tenzo? My friend had some Tenzo 16s on his Teg, his girl TRASHED them with potholes. I would imagine that would take some effort with a 16, no? Unless they were crap, or HUUUUUEG potholes.

Might want to click on this;

I know that it isn't the C5000, but it is still an RH Evo wheel, and it has 5 spokes... But the main thing is, it's cheaper!

They're called "too heavy and expensive."

That was another one of my concerns. While I harbor no delusions that I am an incredible driver who's skills would severely suffer because of a heavy rim, I don't want something too heavy. At the same time, I really don't have the funds to get the lightest (read: much more expensive) rims.

Anyone know how heavy these (RH EVO GT5 or RH EVO C5000) rims are?

Also, regarding the debate... I guess I should have mentioned that I seen these rims on a car, in a magazine, about a year ago. It just occured to me, that unless the owner of the car got a hell of a hook-up, the rims should have been out for a bit?

The GT5's just came out recently. The C5000's have been out for awhile. In terms of weight, I know that there is a site that has a bunch of wheel weights on them, but I forgot the URL. Maybe someone else could post it up.

The site you're probably thinking of is wheelweights.net.

Basically in choosing a rim I look at what size tire I want to run and what (if any) brake clearance concerns there are, then try to find something in that size that is cheap and light. The cosmetics are purely secondary, if it's a copy of some other wheel design I don't really care.

So, what is your primary concern here? Weight? Looks? Price? What size are you looking at?
