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. This Mazda R100 on Racing Hart C2 was spotted at the Vintage Japanese Motor Union Meet hosted at Love20Bee Wheels in La Verne, CA.Check out those Wilwood Brakes behind the Racing Hart Type C2 on the Mazda R100.Racing Hart Type C2 tucking behind the rear panel.Racing Hart Type C2 by Takechi Project on Mazda R100
The Racing Hart Rev are JDM Wheels that were popular during the 90’s. Produced by Takechi Project the Racing Hart Rev were actually made by Work Wheels. The Racing Hart Rev feature a muscular 5 spoke design, with 3 piece sandwich mount construction and stepped lips. Sizing was available in 15″-17″ diameters and widths up to 10.5″. There even is a rare high disk model. Pictured above is a JDM Toyota Soarer on 17″ Racing Hart Rev.
The Racing Hart C2 and Racing Hart C5 were 2 big JDM wheel releases in the late 90’s from Takechi Project. The Racing Hart Type C2 replaced the Original Racing Hart Type C, the main differences were machined face as opposed to the original silver; and different center cap system with a polished center coin as opposed to original carbon fiber. The Racing Hart Type C5 sort of replaced the Racing Hart Type C Tracer with its 5 spoke design. Main differences were fatter spokes and also the different center caps as with the C2. I can personally remember when these wheels were released in the US, it was pretty big news in the scene, new japanese wheels don’t seem to have the same reactions these days. Racing Hart wheels are produced by Takechi Project in Japan.Pictured in the ad are the Racing Hart C5 on a JDM Toyota Altezza. – Racing Hart Type C2 Racing Hart Type C5 – JDM Wheels
Racing Beat RB-02 are JDM wheels that were produced by Takechi Project, who also produce the JDM Wheels Racing Hart. More interesting is the fact that the Racing Beat RB-02 is actually manufactured by Work Wheels. Could we say Racing Beat RB-02 produced by Takechi Project Manufactured by Work Wheels? The Racing Beat RB-02 feature a 3 piece construction with a 6 spoke face featuring a faux center lock, hidden lug nut design. – Racing Beat RB-02 JDM WheelsThe Racing Beat RB-02 are mainly designed for Mazda Miata 4×100, and Mazda RX7 5×114 fitments. Sizing included 15×6.0~15×7, 16×6.5~16×9.0 and 17×7.0~17×10 inch fitments. I’m sure 17×10.0 would look killer on the rear of an RX7. – Racing Beat RB-02 JDM WheelsHere is a picture of the Land Speed Record Mazda RX7 FD sporting 6 spoke wheels. Not sure if those are custom Racing Beat Wheels or otherwise. Skinny Wheels and Tires are used on Land Speed Record Cars to reduce rolling Resistance and aid in top speed attempts. – Racing Beat RB-02 JDM WheelsNA Mazda Miata on Racing Beat RB-02 in the Racing Beat Livery Colors.

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.
