My wheels have been seeping air for a year now. I take the rim in to get repaired. Tech notified me the wheel is useless and needs to be replaced. While shipping around, no wheel shop has been able to locate a replacement, including the dealer who sold it to me. I paid over 2600 for wheels and tires expecting at least the wheels the life of the car considering the wheels being luxury. During a extensive search for a remedy without having to buy a new set of wheels I came across this website regarding a recall of of over 1500 wheels made by sevas model s10. How do I go by to honor this recall. . . I still have wheels and original tires.
Car was stationary on the side of the street. I simply got out of my vehicle and the next thing I know, it started rolling down the hillon its own. Vehicle hit another vehicle and then hit a nearby wall. Total loss.
I was driving my 2002 BMW 745li when my 2 rear sevas s10 wheels collapsed, damage was on both wheel wells, because of that my rear 295/25/22 tires were also destroyed. Luckily nobody was hurt and no accident.
I recently purchased a set of four 22" sevas s-10 wheels for my 2003 BMW 745i. I live in hawaii and ordered my wheels from dnj wheels in California. Dnj shipped my wheels and tires to me mounted and balanced, so when I received them I took the set to my local tire store (lex brodie) and had them installed. As soon as I left the lex brodie tire store I noticed a shaking in the car. I felt it in the steering wheel as well as the seat I was in. I took the car back and asked the man that installed the wheels to check the lug nuts and make sure they were all torqued to spec. He verified that they were, and I reported the problem I was having. He said that it might be a problem with the balancing and or the alignment. So I had all four wheels re-balanced and had a four wheel computer alignment done as well. After all this was complete I left the lex brodie only to find the problem with my new wheels remain. This is when I joined the BMW forum (bimmerfest. Com) and noticed that there were several others who were experiencing the same problems with the sevas wheels. There are also several people whose wheels have actually separated while driving! all people whose wheels have separated reported that their car was shaking, as mine is now, before their accident. This worries me to say the least. I use my car daily to get to and from work most of the time traveling on busy highways. I do not want to see myself, my passengers, or my fellow drivers get involved in a potentially fatal crash because of an issue with a wheel that does not meet proper safety standards. I am filing this complaint in conjunction with several of my fellow BMW 7-series forum members who have also purchased the sevas s-10 wheel. I understand that this is an ongoing investigation and would like to help in any way that I can. Very respectfully.
