360's story isn't unique though. There are a lot of start up wheel companies who bite off more they can chew and end up in the same situation. Best stick w/ wheel companies who have been in business for awhile.
I do hope that everyone who has placed an order will either get their money back or receive their wheels.

The wheel business is harsh because the source of income can dry up fast if you don't move your wheels fast enough...it sounds like he lost focus of the company after it started making some money...

I know the first time I ever saw their wheels in person I was disappointed. The carbon was not done well on them and same for the pin stripe. I know it doesn't sound like much but these are not cheap ebay rotas or something. A guy I met at a meet down here had them on his supra and he had plenty to say about 360 . . . none of it was good. And like many others have said all over involving these problems with any wheel company it is best to stick with a long standing business. Not sure if anyone else has noticed but new wheel companies or sister companies have been popping up like crazy in recent years.

It looks like the owner of Modular Concept/Forged Distributing took over 360 Forged, and it appears new owner is trying really hard to turn 360Forged around... Follow the thread on the corvette forum: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-z...ed-update.html

I actually work out of the same building as these guys. The days of old are exactly that, MC3 Teamed up w/ Forged Dst to do everything except for chrome plating in one house. From design to Programming to Machining to finishing and assembly are done in the same facility.
