Here's another local member that has cracked Sevas wheels. Not once, but TWICE.

Wow, and here I was worrying about my motegis that came on my car. They've done very well. I'm really sorry to hear about this though man, a lot of wasted time.

That was going to be my question. If it takes that much weight to get the wheels to balance, I would be very skeptical of the quality.
Sorry to hear about the problems that the OP had. Hopefully, word gets out that Sevas wheels could potentially be defective.

Never meant to flame it was all in fun. If its gotta VQ its family to me. And to any one that has these sevas wheels please check for cracks its only a matter of time, i needed to clean the brake dust off the rear of the wheel really good to see these. As for the questions regarding the wheel weights, only the rears (the 2 broken ones and the 1 good one) have an abnormal amount of weights, the fronts are fine.

Wow that's just from daily driving? Despite it all though... I'd probably pull back a little from calling them liars. They did at least keep sending you replacements to try to fix the issue. I know some people that won't even go that far... But the main problem here is the quality of the product itself not the customer service it seems. Maybe after so many tries, you should just ask for money back? Oh and the link in your OP doesn't work for me, maybe because I don't have account for driver?

FIXED! sorry bout that guys. And I do agree with calling them liars, i was assured on numerous occasions that the wheel cracking issue was resolved before i even had placed my purchase. I gave them the benefit of the doubt, the wheel cracked, got a replacement and it cracked AGAIN. They are liars in my book, I honestly just want my refund check and to never deal with sevas wheels ever again. I hope everyone who is a victim of this company gets their money refunded as well.

Wow, can't believe I missed that. That is INSANE. All my aftermarket wheels on the G have only required like 10% of that! I've never seen that much weight on a wheel before. Even the heavyass 17" steelies w/31's I had on my Jeep only took like 1/4 of that.

+1...my Volk SF-Challenge wheels have 1 weight on each wheel! There must have been something out of whack on that wheel to have needed that much weight to balance it!

Well no more worries guys, from what I understand sevas is no more. They have stopped making the cast wheels, and their forged line is done. I guess their isnt any worry, about anyone else getting these wheels. I dont see a lawsuit being very useful, when the company cant even afford to stay open
