i'm thinking bout buying some s-star 19" sevas, does anybody know if they're defective. i'm trying to find out if they were discontinued because of poor quality or just an old style. i've read a few posts about the s-22 cracking under normal driving conditions and would like some further light shone on this. thanks
Don't believe the hype that Sevas is crap. Lot's of people around here are just like parrots, they repeat what they hear without any personal experience, research or common sense thought. It's popular around here to rag on any wheel that doesn't cost an arm/leg/kidney. The trip is that many of those high cost wheels wouldn't hold up nearly as well as my Sevas has....and I say that from personal experience. I have had both high and low cost wheels. DO your own research and this is the last place to ask for information. Ask Derrick at D2 or some other wheel professional, not internet parrots.

Cheap wheels and cheap tires do not belong on any car that is driven on public roads.
OZ Racing, BBS, Fikse, Rays forged wheels are stronger, and some of their cast are OK also.
HRE, while expensive, are crap quality. Ask any racer who has used them. SSR will bend, but not fail catastrophically.
To see who is a poseur manufacturer and who is for real, start by observing organized racing, especially at the international level. In F1, you don't see any second tier or lower wheel manufacturers. One must know weight and strength of any wheel, proper offset and hubcentricity (or at least strong metal adapter rings) and have TUV certification.

no that is all pothole. that must been a mean *** pothole. the same exact thing happened to me. at first i thought it was just a dent in the rim..after it happened, my car started to vibrate and i pulled over thinking it was a dent in the rim + a flat tire.
but when i finally saw it in daylight, the rim was cracked exactly like yours.
