To whom it may concern: sevas s-10 should not be targeted/marketed to bmw 6 or 7 series drivers. a 3rd case of known wheel failure occured on october 11th, 2007 it should be assumed/proven that this is a low quality wheel. despite 3 (1 major accident due to wheel failure) known cases of these wheel breaking on bmw 6 & 7 series owners, other users complain of vibration problems when driving as well as steering wheels rattling. these were my initial experiences when the wheels were first installed. the wheels were rebalanced 3 times and hub centric rings were installed, however this did not fix anything. in result, it led the driver side rear and front wheel to split in half while driving 10mph in hollywood, ca on october 9th, 2007. mr. scott gibson, the president of sevas recommends using hub centric rings to eliminate vibration and poor ride quality, meaning he has prior knowledge that these wheels are not a perfect fit for the 6 & 7 series and ride quality problems exist. i believe that the department of transportation should take immediate action and remove these wheels off the market before any other fatal accidents are caused due to wheel failure. in my case, i have made a simple request to mr. gibson and asked him to reimburse for the following: (4) sevas s-10 22" wheels, (2) pirelli rear and front driver-side damaged tires, & misc expenses due to wheel failure. if any of the parties have any questions, comments, or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me. sincerely, jake fermanian

LAst night Dec 37th, while riding home on an interstate with an average speed of 65 mph, both my rear and front driver's side tires blew causing me to swerve all over the road. Luckily nobody was hurt and I was able to regain control of the vehicle. Upon inspecting the damage after changing the tires I noticed the rear wheel rim was completely split and hanging on the brake assembly. The front wheel was also split almost all the way around the diameter of the wheel. The police officer that helped me was as shocked as I was to see the condition of the wheels. The are Sevas S10 22" chrome wheels that I purchased in July of 2007. I used them up to October of 2007 and put them back on in April of 2008 until now. I will be contacting Sevas as well in hopes that something will be done.
