Looks good, but I find it a bit strange that people can still/are buying these wheels. I know D2-Autosport has stopped selling them because of quality issues. There's even a NHTSA recall on the S-10 model.

There is not a recall, one complaint on th S10, NHTSA is investigating. If they get recalled its only the S10, remeber only certain Firestone tires were recalled because of Explorer problems. However, dont know how the person was driving, but again I didnt see any of this till I already ordered them

THE OFFICE OF DEFECTS INVESTIGATION HAS RECEIVED ONE COMPLAINT ALLEGING THAT A SEVAS S-10 WHEEL EXPERIENCED A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE WHICH CAUSED A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND STRANDED THE OWNER AND FAMILY ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. FURTHERMORE, THE COMPLAINANT ALLEGES THAT SHRAPNEL FROM THE FAILED WHEEL PENETRATED THE TRUNK COMPARTMENT DAMAGING THE BATTERY, AND SHRAPNEL CUT A VAPOR-LIQUID FUEL SEPARATOR ALLOWING GASOLINE FUMES TO ENTER THE CABIN. A PRELIMINARY EVALUATION HAS BEEN OPENED TO ASSESS THE SCOPE, FREQUENCY AND SAFETY CONSEQUENCES OF THE ALLEGED DEFECT

The complaint was from this guy:

I made a mistake, the S-10 isn't being recalled, I checked over the report agian and it's only being evaluated.
