Belated Merry Christmas and Happy New year Eric.

I am suprised that this company is still in business. I was under the inpression that they closed down or something. Anyways, there is a guy or more whom is looking to contact Sevas from Bimmerfest also.

I know Sevas had a few issues w their cast wheels but forged wheels are generally way stronger but they can still crack (just more forgiving than cast). As far as them fixing the prob, thats a blessing on its own. Many of these large companies, dont give a crap about their customers or even (us) as dealers. When they get to it, is when they get to it. You would think that if it was their fault, they would pay to have things expedited but that will never ever happen. Has never happened to us, even for our personal vehicles w any wheel company. I think at the end of the day, the timetable kinda sucks but at least they fixed the problem.
I have not seen even one thread, on ANY forum about a Volk, HRE, Iforged, DPE, or other high quality wheel cracking. These wheels are crap, its not like the car was driven into a wall and the wheel cracked, they hit a pot hole. To call what happens to these wheels a "crack" in an understatement. My stock OEM Ray's 19's got a crack from a pothole, it was less than 1cm long, and I would have never seen it if I had not been losing air in the tire, even then I was losing about 2psi a week, so it was not a big crack. The Sevas wheels posted basically disintigrate, they crack in half, or fall apart.

I don't understand why Sevas does not answer questions about the terriable qualityof the wheels, they instead post a pic of a room full of wheels. I would like to know what they would do god forbid someone dies in a car accident due to one of the crap wheels they produce. Lawyers would have no problem making a case against them with all these threads about the wheels cracking and falling apart, they know about the problem, they just do nothing about it.

I think you mean S55...the I have not read one thing about an R55 cracking.

I have R55's and my only issue is the rear driver side wheel has been leaking air. I have taken it to several different places, and have talked to Sevas. Sevas say's its the tire, the tire place says there is nothing wrong with the tire. The only thing I haven't done was to have the wheel barrel resealed, I kind of got fed up with it, and didn't want to spend any more time at the tire shop with the wheels to get them fixed, so I bought some Volk RE30's.
