See how much more your car would have been worth if you had kept the Savinis...:emoticon7:

Ok I have to chime in so far there have been no issues with these wheels Drove the car with a customer the other day and no worries could have gotten a good set not sure but they seem to work well on the car.

As far as Savini wheels go, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

But for real. We aren't bagging on the car. Just making jokes about the wheel company. I'm sure the car is just fine, but the wheel company (not necessarily the wheels) is sorry. Savini wheels are not made for normal use.

No I do Understand this is why we choose to give the stock setup with the car the Savini are for show only they look great but I def would not use them as an every day wheel not to mintuch how hard they would be to clean every time you drive it.

I sure wish I would have seen this thread prior to Purchasing my Savinis. They are currently back at Savini, yep, vibration! I guess you live and you learn. I hope they FIX them the first try. Wish me luck

THey did finally get my vibration to a minimum. Never completely gone but my suspension is pretty stiff so could have made it more noticeable.

I had to get rid of them.

It took them ultimately REMAKING them to get them acceptable. And they only ever got acceptable. Which should, by default, be unacceptable considering the cost.

Take them to you local tire shop, get some good video like the one I posted and post them up so they can see them. It's pathetic that Savini tries to say their wheels are anywhere near a drivable wheel and not just a show item.

Mine went back 3 times. I doubt they'll help much. They will communicate and make you feel good about it and be your buddy while NOT fixing your issue if you let them.

This is AFTER Savini had them shipped back to them 2 times and I got them for the third time counting the original receipt.

When I put another members 22s on my car it was smooooooth. Savini is a shitty company who really knows how to market.

garcmol · 05-18-2012, 10:52 AM

.....and..... don't forget! That was considered ACCEPTABLE!!!

And if you get a video, keep your fingers, toes, elbows, small children and pets away from the spinning tire!

Yes. I was told that this was 'Within acceptable tolerance". The publicity made Savini deal with me.

The Stig · 05-18-2012, 11:28 AM

It's pretty much been decided that Savini wheels are for SHOW only and not designed to go

Dr Jkel · 05-18-2012, 11:45 AM

Thats alot of money just for show...... Yeah custom made 3 piece ,forged wheels....just for show is a great marketing theme for Savini.....We all hopefully are learning the wheels and company are junk.

Wonder how PQ felt about his show wheels when they started flaking...........Ya'll know I am just making fun of Savini and not members like me.
