Rhino Racks?

Looking around for racks to add to my FIT. Looked at the usual suspects (THULE and YAKIMA) but now also found these guys:

Rhino Rack

Anyone have any experience with them? Can be had for $260 on eBay.

Rhino racks are new to me. Another option is Inno, the Japanese equivalent of Yakima (USA) and Thule (Sweden). The bars are compatible with the non-aero, rectangular Thule bars. $220 retail here:

All Inno Roof Racks - Complete Multi-Purpose Car Rack Base Systems

I have an Inno rack for my Fit and am happy with it.....

Thule Aero

Thanks for the INNO suggestion. Never heard of them. Price is right for sure!

Was also looking at THIS Thule Traverse AeroBlade setup and THIS Yakima Whispbar.

Both nice and clean looking with the advantage of being quiet and maybe mpg saving. Issue is price....both almost $450 when all is said and done.

The whole thread is a good read if you want to research roof racks.

i would just make sure you get something that comes off easily. I have thule bars but I only put them on my car when i haul something, otherwise I take them off because I can easily notice a drop in mpg caused by them.
