Right now I don't want to ship. If I don't have any local takers then I'll consider it.

Not to go OT but wasn't it the Sevas 3-piece wheels that are known to split and break apart during everyday driving. I know these issues started about 2 years ago but since then sevas has pretty much vanished. There website is no longer up. NOt sure if these particular wheels are the ones they were having issues with but at this time I would be skeptical to buy from that company.

Actually Sevas was having issues with their cast wheels not with their forged. I had these concerns as well and took them to a very reputable wheel repair shop and had them inspected before mounting them.
I just looked at all the links and the pictures. You can see they are NOT 3 piece wheels because they don't have the rubber strip down the center of the barrel. They also don't have rivets.

Wrong, they were cast wheels that had issues -- not Forged. Big difference.

Sevas doesn't release offsets it's confidential. I've had them maybe 4-5 months?
