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.
The Racing Hart Type C2 are JDM Wheels that came out in the late 90’s, however this set of C2’s are bolted to a Old School Mazda R100 over 20 years older than the wheels. The Racing Hart Type C2 are jdm wheels that were the updated version of the Original Racing Hart Type C by Takechi Project. Major differences of the two were machined finish instead of painted and a less complex center cap with an aluminum coin in lieu of carbon fiber.

JDM Wheels – SSR GPO & SSR Alcyber by Speed Star Racing. If you were an old school JDM Wheel Whore in the mid-late 90’s you have to know everyone wanted two wheels, the SSR GPO and the Racing Hart Type-C; here is a rare wheel scan of the SSR GP-O and SSR Alcyber. Some people have referred them as SSR GP Omega due to the greek symbol, but that is actually a Theta symbol to make it the SSR GP Theta. The SSR GP-O is a two piece mesh wheel with a faux centerlock design really being the center cap; a very popular design at the time. The SSR Alcyber is the 5 spoke brother to the SSR GPO also with the faux centerlock center cap. Both wheels state sizing from 16×7 to 18×9.5, but I have seen 16×6.5 and 18×10 from the Speed Star Racing factory. Now does anyone else see similarities in the SSR wheels GPO and the Racing Hart Type C; or the SSR wheels Alcyber and Racing Hart Tracer? Well just about every JDM wheel manufacturer had a mesh and 5 spoke design at this time.
