Default Opinion on Rims and Manufacturer

Wanted to know what everyone thought of these rims: J5 manufactured by Racing Hart for my IS350.

http://www.racinghart.com/wheels_rhe.asp

Also wanted to know if anyone had any comments about Racing Hart as a manufacturer and the quality of their product.

Thanks for the input

Hart makes good (expensive) stuff, but I don't really like any of those designs for the IS.

the RH line has some entry level price. don't know about the j5 price. Racing Hart line tends to be more expensive. having the words "Racing Hart" on their rims adds 50% or more to the price of their product.

RH does not stand for Racing Hart. RH is a totally different line of wheels.

no such thing as Racing Hart Evolution. only RH Evolution.

thats right RH Evo and Racing Hart are 2 different companies. RH Evo wheels are much cheaper when it comes to price and quality.

They're o.k. I would choose something other than a 5-spoke design (although the one you chose was a 10 spoke design, but still the same look nonetheless). 5-spoke designs usually end up looking like ceiling fan blades. Look for a 7, 8, or 10-spoke design.

RacingHart, RH Evo, and the rest of the brand by DazzMotorsport is known for quality. They are just priced differently and branded differently.

However, with the J5's, I don't like it. I've actually placed one next to the car for comparison to see how it looks and it didn't look so good. The size, 19", is good, but the design doesn't suit the car. I would lean more towards the R5's.
