Those definitely are NOT Racing Harts. Racing Hart does make a one piece version but that is not it. Definite knock-off.

Are you sure they are in no way affiliated? Since all the RH designs have usually been cheaper 1-piece versions of Racing Hart models, plus the have the same importer, plus if you go to www.racinghart.com (which goes to the importer, Dazz Motorsports home page) you will see both Racing Hart and RH models listed together.

My understanding had always been that RH Evolution was simply a lower-cost line from the same company that offered up near-Racing Harts at a much lower cost.

It's very possible I'm wrong, but I have to believe they are SOME way affiliated.

The only Affiliation is that Dazz Motorsports imports them both...

RH revolutions are made in the States.
Racing Harts are made in Japan.

thats my understanding

If the RHs are made in the States, how does Dazz import them?
*just hassling you a bit*

You very well may be right, I had been told by one dealer that sold both that they were affiliated a few years back, and I never really cared enough to look into it/dispute it.

But, with the striking similarities, not to mention the fact that they often use similar names, I would think they would have been copyright-infringed into oblivion by now if they truly just made knockoffs.

Ok, I'll set you all straight.:D RH Evolutions are a Racing Hart wheel. They are a more affordable 1 piece version, as mentioned above. I've been selling Racing Hart wheels for years. We've always purchased them through distribution, however, on warranty returns I've delt directly with Racing Hart. Trust me, they're Racing Harts. By the way, Dazz Motorsports is the "mother company" distributing Racing Hart, Lowenhart, RH Evolution, etc. in the US.

Comparing Racing Hart wheel and RH Evolution wheels is like comparing apples to oranges. They are two totally different animals. However, RH Evolution is a fine quality wheel.

Well what do you know.....

i have just done some research and went to the OFFICIAL Harts website.......

and RH revolutions are NOT part of Harts Racing.....

Go check it out yourselves !

http://www.hartwheels.co.jp/top/menu-index.htm

Theres Lowenhart, Racing Hart, Luftdrag, Eurohart, Bersaglio, Bluhen........... all product lines of Hart Wheels...

but NO RH revolutions.....

so i think i stand correct

Well lots of companies state that because the affiliation btw RH revolutions and Racing Harts is not clear in our society and that is a good way to get more business.

thats why many people swears that RH rev is Racing Harts while some people are unclear...

im not trying to say for sure whether or not RH evo IS or IS NOT a line of Hart wheels...

but im just saying that even the OFFICIAL Harts site does not have them.

Please be aware that i am not trying to raise an arguement... im just laying out the facts to solve this
