NO TO SEVAS!!! the rim's from sevas have had numerous failures of breaking apart while driving. One guy with 7 series BMW with these rims had one fail while driving on the highway, caused over 4K in damage with flying chunks of rim punctuing holes in the wheel-wells.

RJs

Seva S22 do fall apart, and the face breaks off the barrel... google SEVAS WHEELS and PROBLEMS... you'll find info on it

also, you would have to roll the fenders if you went staggered. stretching a 245 tire on a 10" wheel is a big no-no


ALSO, for your tires.... you cant use those sizes you picks.. a 35 profile with a 20" wheel is too much of a difference for the overall diameter...

You would use 245/30/20 (f) & 255/30/20 or 265/30/20 (r)

stick with your current set up... my

I definitely heard of this happening too. When I was rim shopping, I called D2 Autosports and the guy told me he stopped selling Sevas, b/c they started falling apart, and it was a safety issue... well then he started trying to get me in Donz... I actually like them, but they don't fit over 6mt too well.

RJ's? Well I don't know about the Inspyres but my 1pf Devotions cracked... sooooo....

I have never understood the appeal of Sevas...even before people started encountering problems.

As for the RJ's, the 1pF's were known to crack. But I've never heard of any problem with the Inspyre's, Legends, Servo's, 3pF's, etc. The Inspyre's not my favorite design, but it looks good and is a quality wheel.

But my ultimate opinion? Buy my wheels. They're RJ's; they're smokin'; and they're a good deal. We could even meet half way and eliminate shipping.
