Sevas wheel suck!

i currently run a set of Sevas R77 forged 3 pieces on my G35 for a year now. The inner barrel of the wheel always traped water when it rain. Now, it stained, corroded and the chrome on the beautiful chrome lips started to lift and peal of like a dead skin wrap. Now, i have to spend more money to restore it.......

Sigh, I can't believe I spent 3 g's on this crap!

The pickings over here in Canada are very little, after shipping, duty, current conversation a set of S22's and rubber ran me 3 g's and now I have a front wheel that is cracked, sigh.

I feel your pain OP

Have to admit when I hear about this happening now, I'm not the least bit surprised. It has happened to so many people now, it's crazy. The only reason you don't hear about it more is because Sevas made all their customers sign a confidentiality agreement before they would agree to replace a wheel. Even then it took forever, or never happened at all.

I'm not a wheel guru. What other wheels have similar designs but better quality?
