Wow I really feel bad for you guys, you guys paid out of your asse$ and got ripped off what looked like would be a quality product. The sad thing is I remember watching your threads as you guys got these wheels. Which made me want to save up for a set of killer savinis. If it wasn't for you guys and this thread, I would've saved up all my pennies and spent it on a set of wheels only to be screwed by them do thank you guys for making this thread. Although I became of this issue before, it great to see you guys still making sure other members are aware

And PQ, what did you end up doing with the wheels, or what's your plans? I know you wanted to sell them before

I still have them and am still running them. While the vibration is not an issue anymore the one front wheel won't seal. Has to be sanded or something. Not too expensive but a pain. I have to put 50lbs of air in it every morning so I can still have 32 lbs. left to get home with at the end of the day.

I'm currently looking for new wheels. But it's mainly saving for new wheels.

Well that's good minus the loading it with air all the time. What a pain in the ass, I just loaded my rear left with air. I have a slow leak in my p zero (errr) I think after all the money you spent, I would just get that one wheel repaired so atleast you can say your wheels work apart from all the BS from the manufacturer.
And nice PQ, you going for forgestars?

Forgelines or maybe Lexani or maybe BonSpeed or maybe 10 other companies.

I just googled savini wheels and believe it or not the only complaints I've seen were from this forum. I've read many good reviews. Go figure. On PQ's experiences alone I would never purchase them.

Yup mentioned that earlier. I figure we are the dumb ones for thinking Savini would perform. Most everyone else knows they are for looks.

OOOOOOH I gotcha, So what your saying is rich ball players and movie stars like them for looks and since they are riding around in limos all day and just looking at there rides they give them a good review. Makes sense.

And to think that we are all crazy for thinking that we should be able to use our cars after installing a set of custom wheels. That's a concept that Savini must not grasp.

I know I get looks when I tell people that I drive my car. Though it must be hard driving her with those square wheels PQ.

no no no, I just have regular circular wheels. I was just poking fun at Savini. I have tried to get a set of Savinis though, but I refuse to pay money for them. And not many shops are up for giving away a set of savini wheels.

I thought Forgeline was the only company that made wheels for the 5th Gen
