Really bad experience with 360 Forged
#51
MBWorld Fanatic!
Not a peep based on posts from members that are having issues with 360. As of late, there are a lot of issues going on with several sponsors here. It is a little alarming. I put a halt of doing any mods, I may still do my rims with Vossen, for that matter I am still thinking on that.
It's a headache dealing with vendors with things go wrong, and yeah I know you can challenge it with you CC issuer or go to court but it causes loss of time, money, and stresses you.
Customer service has really taken a dive in a lot of respects, and within many industries. They demand top pay for good and services, but suck when it comes time to deliver. I just had to voice my concern, off my soapbox.

i would think this horrible customer service trend would be the exact opposite.
with this bad economy and struggling sales it seems like you would make every sale the most important one of your career and would be treating the customer like a king. what we are seeing with this company and few others seems to be very far from that, which is kinda confusing to me.
anyone got any ideas why this is happening? are other people not feeling this economic downturn and can afford to treat paying customers like garbage?

I still rate their quality is second to HRE and I think their designs are awesome.

Im in touch with peter @ wheelexperts right now waiting to hear back. If anything i will go through a distributor and not through 360 directly. Its a shame too b/c i think 360 forged has the nicest designs and from what i hear, HRE-type quality

so you're telling me you cannot get a status for your wheels? if this is the case, thats a joke -

I dont mean to burst your bubble there, but where exactly do you think you will be getting 360 wheels from if not from them? And if you think Peter from wheelexperts is going to have better luck delivering them to you on time, you have something else coming for you.
360 will soon not exist anymore. You dont have to be a genius to see that. From previous posts and threads related to this company, it is quite evident they will cease operation soon. I give it a couple more months and you all shall see.
As for the deposit, don't worry man. Just do a chargeback or request a refund like everyone else has.
I guess some people have the reading comprehension of 5 year olds since they continue to place orders with 360. The hard headed will learn on their own i guess.
Good luck, you will surely need it.

all I said is I want 360 forged wheels, and i will go through a distributor to protect my deposit...seems like your comprehension needs a little work, or do I need to spell it out for you?

Buddy I was just warning you. But at the end of the day I wont be the one getting screwed out of 6k.
Go ahead and order them please post pics once you get them.
Everyone in Miami knows whats going on at their office. Word travels fast here and bankruptcy is heading their way very soon.

i love that jordan was too busy posting pics of his fancy watches, 100 dollar bills, his bank owned and probably future repo'd cars, etc... to run his business and now its failing. go figure. talk about putting the horse before the carriage. he got so caught up in the bling bling of the business that he forgot who pays his bills - the customers. he had a great product and just a little customer service could have prevented this all, its pretty sad actually.

Typically these types come back under a different name anyway...so maybe he'll get it right the next go around...if anyone is willing to trust him.

I've heard of guys having problems with 360 on other sites too. It is too bad cause the wheels look nice as heck imo.
I had a recent problem with Work Use and the dealer I used called Ravspec. Had an issue with SuperBuyWheels 2 years ago. I've heard numerous stories of poor customer all over the place.
Bottom line, I have decided to never again send my hard earned cash to some joker and be powerless if problems occur. I'm buying local from now on. If there's a problem, I can be in their face every day until it's resolved. I can also picket if they don't respond. Hey, it works...I've done it more than once. But no more sending my money to someone I can't see, wait more than the time they promised then get shafted if there are issues. Not me. Not anymore!

ive been on a few of the forums...6speedonline as well where there are threads lingering
if you look at one of the mod's responses (since they keep shutting down the threads) there were a couple delayed deliveries, however things did get misconstrued because there are a few ex-employees logging on and bashing the company - I think theyve even seen the same IP addresses - this is just me rehashing a post I saw from the mod
I cant blame the guys who hav had issues with their orders for being so pissed, i would be too if i spent that type of money..i have had contact with the company and each time they have responded quickly, albeit I do not hav an order yet
i'm continuing to do my research as I do want the mesh 8's and nothing else...hopefully these issues will be resolved soon...I for one think there is another side to the story and think the bankruptcy thing is far-fetched - but who am i to say really. Anyhow, if you guys dont hear from anyone else we'll see in 8 weeks when Ill be getting (or not getting) my wheels...
like i said, i will go through a wheel distributor to protect my deposit w.o having to call the credit card companies to reimburse me...

+1 on the Mesh 8's. I love those wheels. A little leary of 360 w/ all this negative talk tho. Found a viable alternative just in case things go south w/ 360. http://www.bozeforged.com/dp1.html. They're a 2 piece all aluminum, forged design. If you call, ask for Zach, great guy, knowledgable and very helpful. Cheaper than 360 as well. 19x8.5F/ 19x10R (custom made) polished w/ lugs = $3,250.00 shipped (tires extra). Gonna go w/ Vredestein Ultrac Sessantas. You guys gotta check these tires out.

Hi All,
I have a business in Thailand and i also got in contract with Jordan, and had exact same problems with 360.
First set went ok with 2 weeks delay but a set after, i've been waiting for 7 months and still nothing until now!!!! with many lies and excuse and rarely reply my email.
Third set was also 4 months with no update
just last night they agreed to refund me (finally) but i don't know
how long would that take??
i've should known this before doing business with them, very disapppointed...
I've been dealing with many companies in Japan / Germany / USA and I've never had this kind of problems. 360's customer service is a nightmare.
if they won't get back to me soon, i will tell you guys more how terrible they are if they continue to delay my refund.

I told u so
well i can admit when im wrong, but thanks to the members on this board i took a shot, struck out, but at no cost to me
thanks to those guys that warned me as it looks like 360 is in deep deep crap unless the ship is righted by outside sources...
because i read this thread, I went through Peter @ wheel experts and he has my deposit safe and sound...looks like Im going HRE unless i can find something i prefer better. But its fine since Im not getting my C63 til Saturday and want to run the stock tires to the ground b4 a change
hopefully guys that had orders can recoup their money...its really too bad b/c I loved their product
