i've had both the C5 and C2 3-piece and was very happy with them, they were hot, even if knock offs were everywhere......but what's played out are the concept-5s, the real ones are hard to come by now a days, especially 19s in good condition......i have no idea about the evolution line, i just assumed they were ok....anyhow, C5s are classic, taht's why i have the CX, they look somewhat like the C5

Well, I kinda get the feeling the C5 would not be the freshest choice. So, can anyone verify the the offset of the IS 300 is 45 MM ?
And do most of the high-end manufacturer have hub-centric or lug-centric ?
I think hub centric is the standard, as that assures the wheel will be centered, and true.
I checked TireRack, they don't list the offset ? And most of the wheel selection is not that great either. I bought 4 Michelin Sport from TireRack last December, great prices.
What about the Work VSXX wheel....or the Racing Hart C3 ?

I'm glad you started this thread, because I was/am seriously thinking of the C5's for my car.. I just wonder if the RH Evolutions would be considered a knockoff, or are they still pretty high quality? I still love the design.. simple 5 spoke w/ a nice little lip.. and the RH Evolutions are reasonably priced. but I dont want a cheap knockoff product.. any help?

I still have these wheels sitting in my garage. I am not sure if I am going to sell them or not, coz like y'all said, they are just so hard to come by. I might want to let them sit around for a while till I can find a car to put them on to.
hehehe, what a weird reversal. We used to find rims to go with the car, now we go and find a car to fit the rims.....*sigh*

You can still find some pics of my C5s on my gallery. It's buried in there somewhere amidst my engine mod pics and new wheel pics....
