360 forged = 360 degrees of fail.

For less, i can buy a set of forged Fikses or forged CCW wheels. Or, maybe even a set of Works or SSRs (granted they are not full 3 piece forged). At least their customer service doesn't suck.

We'll have to see how these wheels hold up over time. A lot of time, carbon fiber hoods will start to warp, develop bubbles and white haze over time.

And wheels gets much hotter than a hood.

--------------
ALSO, WHERE ARE THESE WHEELS MANUFACTURED?

A lot of company, iforged, DPE, etc etc. will never give a clear message. They say "assembled in the US". But I ask, where are they parts made.

yes, that's even worse. over time, the fibers will separate from the metal due to heat, stress. etc etc.

There are somethings people can afford that other people cannot afford. Since you cannot afford to buy a set of 360 forged, you begin to hate. Stop hatin' .

Exclamation
I hate to bust the bubble. I feel inclined to inform people though, and no hating is involved at all.

Good to hear some people are being made whole. This doesn't cover all of them though.

A thought: How comfortable would you be spending that amount of money considering the history?

I did. Thats the thing about it. I knew the company was going through bad times, and they were correcting it. You cannot knock it until you try it. I bit the bullet and placed my order 05/08/09, I got updates, bi-daily, emails, phone calls being returned, and even got offered pictures of my product, **** they even took it a step further and shipped it out overnight for $65 more. I am more then satisifed so far with they customer service. Now I am waiting for the wheels (they were shipped out today).

Again I am not affiliated with 360 forged, I just think their wheels are bad ***, and are quality.

----------

Bottom line, we live in the US, there are laws. CC companies always have the consumers back, just make sure you have protection.

Damn, my car is getting a lot of heat here!

Tunerlifestyle dropped the vid when they re-worked their website. Mainly because my car has gone through a HUGE transformation. Just got a custom paint job, new turbo, new fuel system, Rotora brakes, ect ect ect. They want to do a follow up, so soon the new and improved version of my video comes out!
