There are very few names bigger and more respected than Savini Wheels in the very exclusive aftermarket custom rims segment. Based out of Anaheim, CA, Savini has crafted a place for itself as a brand that balances and delivers on precision finishes and advanced engineering in crafting outstanding wheels for every vehicle segment available in the United States.
Offering bespoke rims for luxury vehicles is Savini’s USP. It is a favorite with owners of high-flying and high-end cars; from the latest Mercedes-Benz, Bentley, and Rolls-Royce coupes and stretch sedans to premier 2, 4, and 5-door speed machines like the Porsche Cayenne & the evergreen Mustang.
With sales volumes of premium electric vehicles picking up, Savini Wheels isn’t far behind. Most of its existing models will fit e-SUVs and hatchbacks, and Savini is said to be developing a more refined range of aftermarket rims for all-electric segments as demand surges.
EV hiccups
The EV industry in the US is growing faster than most experts had predicted, although some start-ups (like Lucid) are struggling to scale costs and have resorted to laying off staff. Even Tesla, probably the biggest mover in this segment, is looking at months of delays in deliveries.
Electric pickup trucks are doing a bit better. Savini Wheels is launching specialized forged rims for heavier vehicles like the F-150 Lightning and the Silverado EV soon.
Of course, if you are planning to add extra brownie points for style to your luxury EV (and it’s already in your garage), skip right to the next section!
4 bestselling Savini Wheels for premium EVs
All models listed here are made of aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, while some forged rims make use of even better material like A356 and T9 alloys.
Savini’s advanced manufacturing techniques ensure durability, quality, and unparalleled aesthetics. Plus, you can ask for alterations to several parts to make a set of these rims 100% unique.
- BM15 (Gloss Black/Machined Face)
The Savini BM15 is a cast alloy wheel from the popular Black di Forza series, which offers affordable and versatile options for different vehicles. The BM15 has a sleek and elegant design, and the 20-inch model with a gloss black finish plus a contrasting finely machined face is the most popular.
The BM15 has a ‘super concave’ design and is true directional. It’s perfect for all 5-bolt pattern cars and has several offsets on offer.
The BM15 is a great starting point for those about to enter the rabbit hole of Savini Wheels.
With impressive load index ratings, the BM15 is recommended for electric sedans like:
- The Mercedes-Benz EQS
- BMW i4
- SV-F1
The Savini SV-F1 is a forged wonder from the Signature series, and is the flagship model of all flow-formed rims right now. It perfectly showcases Savini Wheels’ craftsmanship and innovation. The top-selling 22-inch SVF-01 in brushed silver stuns with an old-school 10-spoke design has a deep concave profile that enhances the rim’s depth and dimension.
The SVF-01 is available in sizes ranging from 19 to 24 inches and you can experiment with different colors, finishes, and hardware options. The SVF-01 is a perfect choice for those who want a premium and unique look for daily city driving.
At a mere 37 pounds, it’s a must-look for people who own (or are planning to buy) powerful luxe EVs.
The 22-inch SV-F1 goes well with EVs like:
- The Mustang Mach-E, and
- The Volkswagen ID.4
- SV-F5
The SV-F5 from Savini Wheels is another forged example from the Signature range, but with very different design cues and finish. The SV-F5 has a sporty and aggressive design with a gloss graphite finish and a split 5-spoke pattern that creates a dynamic appearance much more appealing than OE rims.
Try out the 19-inch SV-F5 in a DDT (double dark tint) finish first, although this model is available in sizes touching 24 inches.
You can opt for concealed lugs, more detailed machining on the lips and inner rim, replaceable central hub covers, extra padding on the concave spokes, and there are a huge number of finishes to choose from.
From gold to candy pink to chrome to mint green and a lot more, Savini Wheels opens the floodgates for customizations with the SV-F5.
Ideal for all-electric, low-slung cars like:
- The Porsche Taycan
- The Audi e-Tron GT
- BM16
The Savini BM16 is another cast wheel from the Black di Forza family, but has a sophisticated 16-spoke design with a variety of finishes. The BM16 is a lot rugged and boasts a more robust design and is most recognizable in its matte black finish.
The 20-inch BM16 is renowned for its versatility: Savini Wheels has ensured it suits sports cars, sedans, hatchbacks, pickups, and large SUVs. That is a great advantage for a single rim set!
The multi-spoke pattern leaves a strong impression. You can easily choose from the various bolt patterns and spacings, besides offsets, to upgrade your vehicle. The BM16 is a natural choice for those who live to drive and are looking for durability and value-for-money.
This particular model looks great on:
- The exquisite Bentley Flying Spur 2.9 V6 Hybrid S
- The Lexus LS & ES
- Smaller popstars like the Chevy Bolt/Hyundai Kona
In parting
Savini Wheels guarantees made-to-order cast and forged rims that offer style, performance, and quality in equal doses. However, be wary of where you’re buying them from- the US aftermarket is sinking in cheap forgeries.
Rely only on established outlets like AudioCity USA in Santa Fe Springs, among others.
