Default Do not buy sevas wheels

Well im an avid poster on G35Driver and Triple8Sol told me I should spread the information over to you guys so here it is, the full thread with outcome and what not can be found here: http://g35driver.com/forums/wheels-t...as-wheels.html

Well seems like I've been lied to and cheated by this company once again. I bought a set of wheels back in may from wheel executives, transaction went through smoothly i get the rims and one is damaged. So im told to call sevas, they sent me another one...once again damaged. They "next day" ship me, (which took 3 or 4 days) another rim bubble wrapped and packed like a normal rim would be. A few months down the road one of my rims cracks while cruising on the highway. I call sevas i keep my mouth shut about things didnt bring it to the forum. They send me a wheel, it was good business i dealt with Scott at Sevas the entire time. Im REASSURED over and over on how this will never happen again, it was a bad batch of wheels, blah blah blah. Well fast forward to today, im cleaning my wheels after i took them off for winter and what do i find...the same cracks as last time, except smaller and not to mention on the NEW rim that sevas sent me no more than 3 months ago. Thank god i found these out, as the center almost became completely seperated last time from the face/lip of the wheel. WHAT ARE YOU GUNNA DO FOR ME NOW SCOTT!?! I'm tired of the lies and b.s. You said u had my number stored from all the times ive had to deal with you, so give me a call...



Here is a pic of one of the split spokes of the S-55 styled wheel from the back. My father has my digi cam, all i have is my blackberry for now. just picture this on all the spokes.

Wow that sucks but fortunately you didn't get into a major accident. I smell a big class-action lawsuit against Sevas.

That's terrible that you had to go through all of that. Good choice on the works.

You can look at the spoke design and easily tell that the wheels are *****.

yea i guess it does, so have fun taking ur base Z with cloth seats. but regardless ill still be faster than you with a trunk full of groceries...
And not for nothing but im trying to help the Z community and everyone else on these boards with these wheels. a class action law suit could be made against this company very easily, so Im anyone has sevas S-10's S-22's, or S-55's which cracked please contact me via PM or email Creativedesignz1@hotmail.com Please for anyone else who wants to get OT make a thread somewhere else but i came on here to give YOU people support and spread this important information since they are also sold on this forum. So I dont really understand the point of the personal attack

ahh yes, what did the 08 sedan have? Which mind you is NOT a G37 like you stated have? Oh yea thats right VQ35HR's...thanks tho try doing your homework a little bit before you make yourself sound ignorant. Not to mention this thread has nothing to do about that car, i was merely sharing with another member my future vehicle purchase...

The g37 is not going to be faster with the groceries. That's a guarantee.

Has this link been posted before? I just saw this news report that someone else linked me to on my350z.

http://cbs13.com/consumer/bmw.call.kurtis.2.651597.html


2 quotes from the article:

"...the owner [of Sevas] called Harjot [the victim/consumer], offering to settle. In return, Harjot agreed not to talk about the terms of the settlement."

"The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating whether these wheels are defective and should be recalled."
