The Racing Hart C2 and by Racing Hart C5 by Takechi Project are JDM Wheels from the height of the tuner craze. The Racing Hart Type C2 was the update the the original Racing Hart Type C. I believe the main differences of the Racing Hart C2 is the center cap has an aluminum center in lieu of the carbon fiber setup, the faces have a polished / diamond cut finished instead of painted silver and I believe theres only one bigger size face 18″+ where the Racing Hart Type C had 2 sizes for 16″ and 17″+. Pictured are the Racing Hart C2 ona Honda Accord and the Racing Hart C5 on an Honda Integra DC2. Note the shoutout to DAZZ Motorsport which was the Racing Hart US Distributor which started in San Gabriel, CA.
