B.GORMAN i got to give you credit for keeping you cool with people posting false infor and not taking the time to don their research before trashing someones thread.... anyone familar with wheels or the wheel market know that sevas only had a problem with the cast wheels and mainly only the s7 model...
Like the op said do your research compare apples to apples..

Research? You stated the failure was mainly the S7 model... WRONG!!!! The S10 was the #1 culprit, along with the other models... Sunny said nothing wrong, he was concerned enough to voice his opinion regarding the SAFETY of these wheels... I would like to think I would know more about this subject than anyone else who has commented on this thread...

It was the S10 model, and you would know. As I believe you're the person that had to go through the entire horrific ordeal. Correct?
But, I also believe that the issues were only found to be in their 1pc cast wheels. The Sevas Forged line uses the same barrels, lips, faces etc, that most forged wheel companies use. There's only a handful of suppliers in the US for these pieces. What most people don't know, is that many of the wheels we see offered by all of the wheel companies, source their parts from the EXACT same place.

Unfortunately, yes it was me who went through a serious ordeal with these wheels... I tried to deal with the manufacturer, and when I felt like I was being shafted I contacted NHTSA and started the investigation... Please believe I'm not trying to flame the OP for selling the wheels, not by any means... However, I do wish that had someone know the potential risks of the product, they would have told me... That being said, I can't speak in details about what I know about the company or the product, nor do I want to tarnish their image... All I can say is the answers are out there on the internet and please do your research, something we think of as a "simple" set of wheels may very well put your life and others at risk... This goes for all wheel manufacturers actually, there is a false sense of security/safety that isn't always present...
Threak hijack ended... Apologies to the OP, no harm meant... Good luck with the sale...

I'm going to try and be as professional as possible here!!!
1st off, Sunny...I can honestly appreciate your concern for other members of the board.....however, I cannot appreciate your stubborn refusal to understand the facts either due to pride or plain ignorance!! I explained to you the difference between a 3 piece forged wheel made here in the states compared to a cast chinese/japanese made wheel...but your reply let me know that you already know it all...even though you currenty have 1 piece cast chinese wheels on your car!!! So after that...I pretty much ignored your post and went on with my thread!!
Now.....as for you harjothundal, it's unfortunate what happened to you and by the grace of God everyone was safe! However, I honestly can't accept your defense of Sunny, nor do I understand your post. It is totally contradictory, misleading, and hypocritical.......meaning, if you are truly concerned about the members on this board, you should state what you know about the company and not worry about tarnishing the image of a company/entity that has been out of business for a couple years.......or just not say anything at all. You state that you wish someone had warned you, yet you refuse to share what you know about this "false sense of security"!! You also state that your not trying to flame me for selling the wheels...I can't tell....LOL!!! Then you have the nerve to apologize at the end of your post and say no harm meant!!! WOW
Now, although I don't appreciate you guys hijacking and destroying my "for sale" thread while breaking all types of forum rules in the process (especially since I'm a paid sponsor and pay to post here)...LOL!! It's all good. I just needed to get that off my chest and ask that you please leave your opinions of sevas 3 piece wheels (because unless you can show facts about the 3 piece forged wheels....that's exactly what it is....your opinion) out of my next thread.
Thanks for hearing me out guys....and honestly, no hard feelings...it's all good!!!

I'm sorry that you feel that way, it is your opinion and I respect that... If I could do anything to help the safety of my fellow MB brothers and sisters, please believe I would... As a matter of fact, that is exactly what I did when I contacted the Government and started this investigation in the first place... I cannot say anything due to a release that I had signed so my mouth is shut...
