I thought i had it all figured out!

Alright so i finally made up my mind on the rims i wanted (Sevas S55, Black) and so i made the call to cbwheels, djswheels, wheels direct online, Cellular Connections, and dubz direct... and i got the same answer from all of them which is... sold out/back order. Now do i put in my order anyway and wait the ETA of 45 days.... or change my mind on the rims i want? If so what resembles them ( i want staggered 20's btw) grr im kinda angry... any ideas? thanks for the help in advance.

Unless someone knows where else i might be able to get them?

If you like them then get them. If it takes a while for you to get them then who cares as long as you have them and you like them then that is all that should matter.

Wait it out man. 45 Days is just long enough to forget about them. Then when they show up you're all excited again.

Seriously, six weeks will fly by.

If money's not an object, I highly recommend coilovers!

NO TO SEVAS!!!! Have you heard what has happened to numerous people with Sevas rims? If not, to sum it up, the rim shatters for no apparent reason. The Government is currently conducting an investigation over this. Just google sevas, bimmerfest and you will see the incidents.

Alright so i figured out what i want.... Sevas S22's instead of the S55's..... cuz that will take over 5 months or maybe more according to everyone i called. Now the question is..... Chrome or Black with chrome lip?

Stay away from Sevas cast wheels until there's a public release from them. They are amazing looking wheels, but they are made poorly. I haven't seen any problems with the forged ones, but those are also made in china. The components are from china and assembled here.

Follow the links in the thread for more cracked sevas.

this is a more recent thread with another cracked sevas.

sooo umm i talked to auto couture and all the wheels are custom made... so im guessing the price on the site is per wheel..... 1650... per rim for the Black Series 07 Lattice.... Ouch.. but hes going to call me back and tell me prices and stuff, this is going to leave a mark. i meant money isnt an issue with suspension not rims lol
