Really? That is extremely weird. I purchased a set of Sevas S-55 Black w/ Chrome lip and it was in absolute MINT PERFECT CONDITION. No chips, no scratches, no dings, nothing. The set arrived at my place super fast and I am extremely happy with them and from what I read on the forums, there were a ton of others who purchased them and were super happy with them as well, this is a first. Not to mention, the ride is awesome. Who did you purchase them from?

Same here, I got a set of Sevas S-7 from AutoMotiveMods as well and it was MINT. Did you try calling your friend and exchanging it for a new set?

You said you ordered your set from eurotrend.

Are they a site sponsor here at g35driver.com?

Those wheels are decent for a one piece. The finish and detail is pretty good. FWIW, you're gonna have similar problems with any one piece wheels from time to time. Axis for example has a batch of the HIROS that were cracking at the spokes sometime ago.

Is it true that the S-55's only weigh 26-28lbs for 20's?

Those are the numbers that automotivemods just gave me and they seem like a good shop. I just find it hard to believe they are so light at that price.

We just had them weighed on several different scales for exact numbers as requested. The Sevas S-55 is 26lbs F and 28.5lbs R. The reason for them being as light as they are is because they are Injected. See, most wheels are gravity Injected which makes for a heavier wheel. These wheels are low pressure Injected from the bottom up which in turn makes a lighter and stronger wheel. Thank You.

AutoMotiveMods
