I am thinking about getting 360 Forged spec five or split seven in 19" size wheels for 335i sedan. I really like the style and deep dish design plus I think they are easy to clean as there is not much surface area. Are they good brand as far as quality and reliability?

[ppatel223]

no body has dealt with this brand?

Hey, I sent you a PM

[AW335iCoupe]

360forged is pretty much out of business. There is tons of complaints all over many forums. I think they might be already out of business to be honest. People haven't been hearing from them on orders in months.

I see Dan@TheModCity sent you a PM. I got my wheels from him too, hell find you a great set Good Luck.

I wish you the best.

That's actually not true. 360 has gone through a transition and is very much in business. We work with them regularly and I would not hesitate to recommend their wheels based on the finish and barrel quality. Check out this post from 6speed for more info:

Hello to all 6 SPEED Forum members,

Just wanted to fill everyone in on the current 360 Forged situation. I, Alain (Previous partner at 360 Forged and owner of Modular Concept) have re-assumed production and distribution of the 360 Forged wheel line. We have also assumed control of 360's 7000sq. ft. Miami facility, phone numbers, email addresses, staff and sales team. Obviously 360 has been going through major growing pains which has led to a backorder of 90+ sets. Because of current turnaround and customer service issues 360 has recently been dealing with, I have now found it necessary to intervene and help the situation.

To simplify the sales and manufacturing process, all 360 Forged and Modular Concept products will now be offered under a new umbrella company called Forged Distributing. We are well aware of all pending orders and customers which are awaiting delivery of their wheels. Although we are not responsible for previous delays, we are working diligently to get all past due orders filled. If you currently have an open order and would like to check the status please call us directly at 305.255.5166. One of our secretaries will take your information and a representative will return your call within 24 hours.

Production of new orders will be processed within the industry standard 4-6 weeks. We do understand that it will take some time before we're able to regain faith into the 360 product line. We are are putting the following stipulations into place to ensure customer satisfaction:

•Orders are GUARANTEED to be packaged and shipped from our facility within 4-6 weeks (add 2 weeks for carbon fiber orders) Should an order be delayed the customer will receive his or her money back without question if requested, or a 10% discount will be subtracted from the balance owed.

•$1000 deposit is required to start production on any order

•$1000 additional deposit is required once wheel centers are machined (normally 2 weeks)

•Balance is to be paid upon completion of the wheels, once tracking information has been provided and photos have been taken of the wheels for approval (if requested)

•Shipping and handling is a flat rate of $200 for wheels alone $300 for wheel & tire packages (US deliveries) $450 / $550 (International)

•Warranty issues will be handled by FORGED DISTRIBUTING, Inc. based on the above mentioned companies warranty policies.

There is no doubt 360 has created a quality product that is highly in demand. With our added manufacturing capabilities and financial resources, 360 will remain a major player in the after market wheel industry for years to come. Expect to see major developments from 360 Forged & Forged Distributing over the next few months. If anyone has any questions or comments please feel free to PM, email, or call us any time.

they are doing great, spoke to them yesterday

[AW335iCoupe]

I have no idea what you guys are talking about.

I know many people around the community that ordered 360 forged wheels, and had to do chargebacks because of what went on.

I dont want to say much on this, I just did some reading and listening, thats all.

But, if you read all of the pages, you can see tons of stories from ACTUAL customers. Here took a look yourself. Dont just read the first couple of pages.

lol just reading from a comment off 6speed

"This thread doesn't surprise me one bit.... these guys obviously spend more time doing photo shoots and spamming all the forums incessantly than actually taking care of their orders and customers.

Ponzi scheme comment above about sums it up....

I'll bet the guys who have complaints against you would LOVE to read more about you smoking your $75 cigars..... "

lol joker!

wow, that 6speed read was long, and interesting to say the least

+1

The picture shoots & photo editing do look very enticing!

[thegeneral101]

didn't say that there wasn't a customer service problem, guess i meant that they are still around. same people, same place. the wheels are sexy you have to admit lol. and no, I don't have these rims

[dlbrooks18]

360 Forged make some SICK wheels! Post up some pics of the E90 if you decide to get them. I hope you decide to go with an aggressive offset, don't be afraid to do some rolling if necessary..

[BMWGator]

I like their line of wheels. They were on my list of potential wheels for my future 997TT. Hopefully, they'll still be around at that time. lol

[osmany21]

hey guys I have a 335I coupe and have read up on these wheels. Very nice so I decided to pass by their Miami office and check them out. They are very much in business and I commented on their recent fall out and they told me that are filling the orders as soon as they can. Every client that is in contact with them is being taken care of. Just ordered the spec 5 and left a deposit. 4-6 weeks. Spoke to the new owner and he is busting his but to get thing up to date.. Hope this helps

2 posts. Did you sign up just for that?

This is what gets me about 360 Forged. Their marketing is just so... argh.
All of the sudden we see all these "360 Forged wheels..." threads on the boards from members with less than 100 posts.

They are COR wheels with a different centercap on. They are good wheels for sure but whats all the hype about?

To 360Forged: Stop smoking your $75 cigars, having Will do a photoshoot every 2 days, of the same wheels, posting it on the same boards in 10 different forums and spend a little more time making sure Robert gets your wheels done. Also charge a deposit first and then final payment on the day of delivery. It`ll help your reputation.

Goodluck.

i have over a 1k posts, have no affiliations whatsoever with 360 besides seeing them once at moroso, and i can tell you that their wheels are of quality, this is a shitty market and shitty management can make a company look bad, but that doesn't mean they cant turn it around

i actually hope to get a set of 360's soon if they're still around and persevere through this

I'm also looking forward to purchasing a set of wheels within the next few months and 360 has been on my list of "possibles" from the beginning. I believe the sudden onslaught of interest/posts regarding these wheels is in line with the recent management/owner change of the company. However poor the management may have been in the past still does not take away from the quality of the product itself.

The 360 Forged brand along with DPE & VMR brand wheels are all on my list ..........
