I'd get'em myself if i could..
Nice wheels but offset is real bad for G's. +30 is no bueno.

yeah.. I was wondering why they went w/ those offsets.. everyone tries to be "different" and ends up customizing the rims for their set up to where they can't sell them because they don't natively fit on anyone else's ride

+17/+18 FTW!!

Cracking isn't limited to just one model of Sevas wheels, nor to just one area. Some crack on multiple spokes while others crack right through the barrel.

Here's another example: https://g35driver.com/forums/wheels-...-no-crack.html

yeah understandable....today after intalling my OEM Rears since thats all I have at this time....I come to find out after driving off that my front inner side passenger rim is bent as well which is letting air out when I turn the car either left or right....

damn! I'm sorry to see that happen to you and your wheels. Glad everyone is ok and you got the car home safely. I know the feeling of hitting damn potholes Good luck on whatever new wheels you decide to go with.

Bump the potholes, that's just horrible manufacturing.. I'm VERY thankful that you and your fam were ok.. man I was recently in an accident w/ my expidition where I lost control and hydroplaned.. It's a scary thing to not be able to control your vehicle man for ANY reason, but you never think the things you spend good money on could just fall apart like this...

I say again.. I'm glad you and your family are ok.. By the looks of this, it could have been a LOT worse.. Thankfully you were going as slow as you were.. That's a blessing in itself that it happened when it did.
