Sevas R22 are forged wheels. If I remember correctly, Sevas' cast wheels were problematic.

no it was sevas forged
I've seen almost every kind of forge wheel crack. Does not mean much unless you know the complete backstory on each case. We all know the horror stories of forged HRE wheels breaking form lateral forces on the track and getting banned from many events. Yes Sevas did make horrible 22" cast wheels and they also had a crapie 20" cast wheel (s55). The forged wheels were made in a different plant then the cast wheels. That being said i love my second hand set of r22 wheels. They fit with out any problems and the are plenty light. But since they are out of business you will be taking a risk in case you get a botched set.

22" r55? The spokes were kind of thin on that design

I saw a great deal and would like to know if they will be an issue since you have them?
