My Ride: 14 550i
he's trying to buy my rims. like i have said many many times sevas only had issues with their cast rims not their forged rims. the manufacturing process for forged and cast is completely different.
i had the same concerns as you so when i bought the rims i immediately took it to wheel america (http://www.wheelsamerica.com/) to have them inspected.
