S is for .... Sevas !

fuck my dorm look like a body shop

i have such counter intuitive parts, ALL going in on tues thanks to stillhere who has got it hooked up for me, after I get back from Montreal for fall break

oh well, i'll have fun with the sevas for a little
they were custom painted silver by Sevas themselves, as they only manufacture chrome and black now (used to make silver)

Specs: 20x8.5, 20x10
Tire specs: Falken FK452 235/30-20, 245/30-20

Yes, a dangerous stretch but we'll see how it pans out.

nice bro! all that metal look beautiful! you're gonna love all that HP increase. i guess you will still feel a big difference in power even with the 20's since everything is pretty much going on at once. those will look nice! are they multi piece? are those their forged series? what lip sizes are they? does you ride have TPMS i forgot what year it was. if it does how you gonna mount the sensors. the finish is awesome.

Looks good, but you are going to be stretched on 20's with living in NY ouch hopefully you won't have any issues. And above all hopefully you don't hitt any pothole/man holes and crack the rims. Since they are notorious for that happening.

Thanks guys, and they're S-55's, one piece
Yeah, only thing I hate about these wheels are the weight and the fact that they look multi piece.

Their forged series are too intense for me, lol. I'd say the fronts are 2 in and the rears are 3.5 to 4.

Looks good though, S55s are FTW.

245/30 on a 10" wheel, that's basically riding on rubber bands. Be careful bro.

Wheels and parts look great.

B...

Nice wheels... Should look dope...

You will need a Fender Roll...

Tire sizes aren't right at all... Not Enuff side profile to stretch... You should consider 225/35/20 & 245/35/20... Falken 452 don't handle stretches well... Consider Nankang ...

Good luck

I can do 245/35/20; it's actually cheaper and it is highly likely to arrive before Tuesday. I'm very worried about the 245/30-20 actually..

Brian... Rodney knows his shit

On my setup, i had 245/30/20 & 255/30/20.... My fronts actually rubbed only once or twice, but the rears NEVER rubbed.... but it was 9.5 +45..

The Seva is 10" + 40 if i'm not mistaken.... I would consider 255/30/20 in the rear, and having Rodney roll then fenders... a 245 on a 10" is really a VIP stretch !

Can't wait to see those wheels on your ride!! These wheels are pretty good in terms of weight if you compare to a lot of 20's out there. Correct me if I am wrong but these S-55 weighs in around 26lbs for the fronts and 28lbs for the rear. They are the lightest out of all the Sevas 1pc wheel. It is pretty good since our OEM's already weigh in around 23-24lbs I believe.

Congrats bro! Ive never really heard about the S-55 cracking. Worried though that they are 1-piece. Enjoy them

Hey Al... no worries... they will mount onto the wheels... that's no question about it... but their is barely any side profile to extend to the edge of the lip... he'll have at least 5mm of fully exposed rim...

Good Luck Brian...

How ironic seeing how that's what most people like about them...true multi-piece look without the cost. Enjoy the new parts, and be sure to post pics!

it's up to you...

If you want the stretch tire and more fender clearance... 245/35/20

if you want more tire... 255/30/20

It's up to you...
