I had a feeling it was going to happen sooner or later. I really loved how they looked on your car.

hmm...if anyone else who has these wheels still have not requested any type of refund, you are sitting on a time bomb.

I have seen that thread but then again I havent had a single issue with my rims and I have had them installed for at least almost 2 years now.

yeah I knew the inner barrels of the S22's were coming apart and the s55 were cracking at the spokes but mine just blew away to pieces....I will have more pics when I Get to my mom house today...I hope I didnt damage my BBK as well in the rear along with anything else...whats crazy about the whole thing is that my tire is still attached to the outer and inner part of the lips..it didnt break off.

But that fracture line looks awfully close to the spokes...

All in all, I will not trust Sevas, ever. All this just shows sh*tty manufacturing.

I will get pics later on today of the rim removed from the car because im going to park my car into my parents garage but I actually drove it about 200 ft to my house since that is how far it was from where it broke..I just cruised about 1-2mph to just make it into my driveway off the main road so that I could park it since it was like 10:30 at night...Luckily I have another car that I can drive..it will just be sitting there for alittle while now.

So that's why their website no longer works, and no one sells them.
