Default I want these rims.

I am looking to get rims and came across these. Also, if anyone has any pictures of these rims on the IS, please post them ASAP. These rims are Sevas S22.

I'd stay away from Sevas at least for a bit. Just imo, of course. You could go Enkreuz or DPE or something, and probably pay the same and get better quality.

For some reason DPE took forever to get the rims I ordered going (5 months+). Thats why I went with DCRs.

Sevas' are Trash! They make a wannabe version of a true 3-piece wheel. Spend the extra money if you can, to go with a Vellano, DPE,Klass, Iforged, or DCR. You won't regret it!
