wow that's ugly..... only go with quality stuff, these are places where reliability comes first

Wow, this should be sent back to manufacturer for FA. I was considering Sevas before choosing to go with Work. Now I'm sure I made the right choice

I thought Sevas wheels were cast, not forged?

Break is different from almost being obliterated

Thanks for sharing TX

Regarding that member saying to do an inspection. That would be hard to do, esp. this came from the inside.
I don't know how would one do an inspection?

The only inspection is to probably check the proper tire pressure.

Who makes SEVAS wheels?

Seize

Yeah, I think their one-piece wheels are cast, not 100% sure though. Maybe someone else can chime in on that. It is just recently that they started to offer forged wheels as well.

I think chinese people. Never seen a Sevas wheel in person, but i'm willing to bet it's made in china.

Yeah that separation is crazy. I used to have a set of MOMO's on my old car 328i the tire blew out on the freeway at a fast rate. The only thing that happened to the rim was it had a dent on the innner lip and the whole tire shredded away. So goes to show what a quality rim will do.

So this is at least the second time a SEVAS rim came apart like this. For those that haven't followed the story in the 2IS forum, someone there with an IS had his SEVAS rims shatter and come apart from the barrel like this as well. We all know this can happen on the track, but this appears to just be two individuals driving their car on the street. There is no way this should happen.

Here is the 2IS link. What do you guys think? Looks painfully similar. I see a bad trend here.

Thanks for sharing...I think its a bad batch of wheels made at the same time?

I was thinking about some Sevas as well but decided to pony up some loot for my &Swiss. Now even happier I bought them.

my question for the bimmer guy is why in hell is there so much wheel weights on the wheel?

this kind of points of something being way off. usually tire balance issues don't need so much weight unless the wheel is bent or out of round. perhaps it was cast improperly and not round?

honestly with these stories, seems like sevas are real crap
