You might pay a slight performance penalty due to the increased weight. Although the Sevas wheels are pressure cast unlike most cast wheels they are reasonably light for cast wheels. Not as light as a good quality forged wheel.
Yeah for sure. However, I got too many car projects I need to fund before I pay $4k for wheels.
And like I said, I won't have a S**T fit if she curbs them. Well...I still will have one, but not as bad w/some forged dubs.

i was looking at these wheels as well...i was directed to a vendor and w/ tires, powder coating flatt black and shipping, it was $3300...not bad...i've been looking for the right wheel for my srt for 1yr now...i detoured into forged wheels, but like you i didn't want to pay forged prices...especially when i want to paint them and not worry about my wife borrowing the ride and scuffing the wheels up...i'm stuck now...between some use forged wheels, abgforged wheels, villano's, sevas and viper replicas....a wide rang in wheels...i get a killer price on the two forged wheels...now the viper wheels are coming out and i've luv'd them since i 1st saw the pics on the ramairhood website...i don't know if i'll ever make a decision...i can't wait to see the pics...later - jimmy

Sweet. They do look alot like the $8000 HRE wheels. hehehe I thought the Seva's were supposed to be some of the lightest wheels available? I hear ya on not wanting to spend a TON of money on wheels. Unless you're really into taking the car to the track, I don't understand the need for 3 piece wheels. But hey, that's just my opinion.
40 days?!?!?! ARGH...that sucks. It'll be well worth the wait though!! Can't wait to see 'em mounted!!
Exactly what I was gonna say Tracy. They look like the HRE wheels but cost a helluva lot less... that's one sweet price you're getting teahead! Well worth the wait IMO.
Heres a few shots of a set of chrome Sevas that are going out today. We also secured the last couple sets of blacks that were available in case anyone wants them, at little better price also. PM me if your interested, they'll be gone pretty fast
DAMN I WANT THESE WHEELS!!!!!!!!!!!
I just aint got the money for them- Would you take my first born son?!??!?!!? LOL!!!!
