Default wtf 360?. just wand to give the heads up about 360forged!

I know they 360forged is a sponsor here. But I think club lexus members should know about this in case you are thinking about ordering from them. I almost placed a order 2 months ago!

Busted. Many forums are booting 360 off their sponsor list. I can't wait until Clublexus does the same.

He spends WAY more money than he can afford. His house was taken away from the repo-man, and I believe his F430 too.

I dont feel a single sympathy for this company.

LOL I like how he complained about waiting 2 weeks (back in 2004) for a fender to arrive that he bought from a forum member. Yet many people have been waiting at least 6-10 months for his wheels.

Irony..

Nice heads up.... I've seen their wheels before and they looked like legitimate high-quality wheels. Didn't know anything about the company though but now I know. Glad to know companies lead by people like this don't last long.

If anyone had any thoughts about buying from them I guess they wont now, or hopefully they wont. I wonder how much longer they will be a vendor here? Thank you for the link lexgs1.

No problem. Just hate to see the same thing happen to CL members.

If any CL members are having problems with a 360Forged order please let me know and also contact Adrian from Internet Brands (adrian.harris -=AT=- internetbrands.com)

IB suspended their CL vendor status pending addressing these issues last week.

I liked the wheels and wished that I could afford them, but after spending 2 hours reading all of the horror stories I am so glad that I was not one of those to be had by this company. Hopefully the people affected by this will get their situations resolved and hopefully no one on this forum has been affected.

I cant imagine going through that. I guess its a good idea to stick with the bigger companies or go through someone like D2autosport

Damn that's a horror story! I just ordered some new wheels from a non vendor but they're a very reputable company. So hopefully everything will turn out like it should.

That Ferrari belonged to the owner of Wheels Boutique 1 & 2 in Miami, Ben.

it's now being equipped with some better quality wheels from a more reputable wheel company that happens to be a vendor on this forum

its about time some action is taken, working for a wheel company myself, I kinda lost count of how many phone calls i've received of there past customers telling me horror stories and how many threads I've read!

there's far more then just the pretty photo shoot's and the fascinating cars they have.. that's just eye candy.
