20" Sevas vs. pothole
I would think twice before purchasing Sevas. The wheels look good, but it shouldn't crack like that. I guess you get what you paid for.

By the way, it's not my wheels. I found this on club lexus.

You can get into a horrible accident like that. Did that happen to you? If so what kind of warranty or settlement is included with that kind of deal? Normal driving should NOT = what we're looking at above. PERIOD

I'm not surprised...it's SEVAS after all. I've hit some potholes pretty hard, and a curb once, and my Axis Se7ens did the same thing. Never had problems with my SSRs, Volks, Enkeis, PIAAs, etc...

Wow, that's nuts!

On my VW B5.5 I had two BBS RX wheels crack on the inside lip and I'm pretty careful about potholes and all. Gotta tell you after that experience I will NEVER buy BBS wheels again.

I broke one of my Sevas back in March and have been waiting for a new one since... They keep telling me they are on backorder.
