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.

Oh i missed the forged part, my bad.
Well if you are willing to help him out with warranty issues and they are forged then it can be a smokin deal.

Well as far as the warranty part I don't know what I could really do. I'm not selling them as Acute Performance but just personally.

its def a good deal in comparison to the original price. im not questioning the asking price or the integrity of the seller. im sure many will vouch for his character. my concern is fact that this company has been out of business for some time and the fact that there have been issues with some of their rims. i know the cast wheels were the wheels in question but it still makes me think.

ha, banana vs airplane...i like the comparison. i just think there are too many questions that go along with the purchase and the the rims are scuffed already. if i needed to replace a rim im screwed. if i was looking to resell when i sell the 5er ill prob shit out of luck cause its prob gonna be another 3 yrs from now and by then no one would want to touch these. too many questions, but ill continue to discuss with seller. thanx for the info fellas

good thing about 3 piece is you can just buy a barrel and put the face on.

right, again...the wheels in question are FORGED, not CAST
