Another Unhappy Customer of 360 Forged
some people think money is what makes you a man..it's not...that's why once the money is taken away you can truly see how weak some people are....
i crashed into the curb about 4 mons later , which caused me to "rush" the banged up wheel back to 360 to get fixed asap (even though it was the winter in NY). I always asked J how much to fix bent wheels ,etc because i believe NY roads are the worst. You guys can believe me or not, i offered to pay him for the repair (voicemail), the repaired wheel arrived at my office door , no charge. I always had a vibration in the front right, which mb said at first was the wheel , but was fixed when MB Massapequa replaced the bearings or whatever they called it. I hope your issue gets resolved.
Off topic...i saw your from the Massapequa area...Ever heard of Primavera Meats?
As far as why no customers have sued 360? If I were to make an educated guess it would be because none of the people posting are from Miami. They don't want to spend around $2k to try & get their money back. Then they end up with a judgement against 360 that costs more to foreclose on. It's really not worth most peoples time & that's how companies that rip people off are able to continue doing it. IT usually takes someone with a righteous sense of justice and/or deep pockets to shut bad businesses down. Sadly, bad businesses can usually manage to change names & locations & resurface later to prey on new victims who don't know the owners reputation; and the cycle continues.
There have been many posts on this board discouraging people from suing MB or tuners, with the sole explanation that it's a losing battle where the plaintiff spends money up front & the defendant can sit back & wait it out. What makes this different?
And the BBB? For them to be of any value, people have to report to them. I think in the age of the internet, they are quickly becoming a relic of an organization & are not really used anymore. FWIW, 360 Forged is not a member of the BBB, nor are there any reports at all positive or negative.
The foreclosure records are PUBLIC RECORDS, there is zero expectation of privacy. The records are public for a reason; it shows the public what is going on to enable them to protect or defend their interests that involve the party in question. If Jordan owed me money, I certainly would like to know that I may be last in line, or it might encourage me to try & recapture what I can before another suit goes through.
FWIW, at least in Florida, there are some records that you cannot view online, but civil financial matters are not any of them. The State believes that they should be made PUBLIC & shown online.
As an unrelated example, my city gave a S. Florida developer land, plus 1.5 million dollars to develop some property downtown. The background check was not thorough & they didn't catch bankruptcies & foreclosures. He walked with the money & it's taken the city 3 years to get it the land back, the 1.5 mill is GONE. If someone with competence had done a search, they would have found it & most likely chose someone else to do the work.
Is the information relevant? Yes, as I have described in my previous post. It does show how he handles his monies. However, it's relevant to the affected parties, not people who are just going to point and laugh and jump on the burn-360-bandwagon. Actions like such are despicable. The records should have been discussed via pm with affected individuals.
As for proof? This hardly proves more then the complaints and pictures; the only thing the Dade county public records show is he lost (is losing) his house. It doesn't show he purposefully sent customers wrong rims (still no proof of that), it doesn't show he's purposefully neglecting everyone (still no proof that either), and it still doesn't show how he took 5K from one person and spent it on his Ferrari rather than deliver his product.
I believe he's done some of what he's being accused of, but not based off his foreclosures and Ferrari: I've searched the net and plenty complaints coupled with a lack of action from his side in most has resulted in my final opinion.
So no, I'm not jumping to his defense calm down lynch mob-- but I will separate the real from the story telling. And some of you have made assertions based on this so-called "proof": Dade County records of a foreclosure... which does not have any pending civil suits (civil being the operative word). While I agree he needs to man up and payback/replace your monies/wheels for the wrong he's done (purposefully or not), I think you people need to realize this "proof" doesn't "prove" anything except his house is in foreclosure and it has absolutely nothing to do with the wrong rims you received.
I'm just trying to be fair here.
Jesus... where were all of you when they were selecting jurors for the 90s O.J. trial?

Your post proves that some people need to be hit over the head with a sledgehammer to get the point.
I can say this without any doubt, that the majority of the guys popping up here with no prior post history defending him, were sent here by Jordan. The facility that 360 has would never be another HRE. To begin with, they do not have a single operating permit at the their facility. They already have been fined multiple times by Dade County code enforcement. They do not even have liablility insurance . If something were to go wrong with their wheels with a custome, they would be in serious trouble, Remember Sevas Wheels? Do not believe me? Call 360 and ask them yourselves, or even better, 360 Forged, prove to us that everything we are saying is false. From the bolts, to the poor quality control, to the tale of lies and false promises. You guys do not deserve to be in business, where you can continue taking innocent peoples money for your Ponzi scheme.
I have heard that the current backorder at 360 is over 100 sets right now. This is not because of a manufacturing hold up, but of a financial one. They simply DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO SEND OUT THE ORDERS! WITHOUT FUTURE ORDERS COMING IN, THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DELIVER ANYTHING! The best option for 360 if they wouldnt have screwed so many people out of their money, would have been to hire a new CEO, and get rid of the whole staff. They have a total of 5 years of experience amongst 10 employees. None of them would be more than a "help" at any other wheel manufacturer. They do not know much, and it is very evident with the way things are being operated there.

In May 2008 put a deposit down on rims. 360 charged his CC and then he heard nothing for months! A few months later he got a charge for the balance. He attempted to contact them...but nothing. He got no call, email or anything to indicate the rims were in or that they are ready to be delivered. Just a charge on the CC. So he called his CC company and disputed the charge. At that point, he received a return call from 360...
Then as you can see it was not until October in which the rims were actually delivered. AND you can see the additional money that he was charged upon delivery! (sometimes it takes time for rims - that was not an issue)
I went with him to pick up the rims. Jordan was very nice, but I felt something was not right when we arrived at his company. We had to go to another location to get the rims installed?? They do not install them...
Either way, we headed back home with new rims on the car. When we got back home and washed the car for some pictures, we noticed that the paint on this brand new set of rims was flaking. Needless to say, he was not happy. I took some shots... so you can see what I am talking about.
Bottom line - I have proof - proof of costs, proof in emails as much proof as needed...
Proof that:
Customer Service is non existent
Lead time is way off (2 months is actually 4 to 5 months)
Broken Promises ("I will take care of that" oops sorry it will be more $$
Products may not be what they seem
etc etc
Overall, I want the company to succeed and we both like the rims, just sucs that they cannot get it together...

Stick a fork in 360, they are done. I just cannot believe the level of deceit, games, and very poor business ethics that some people have but this, along with all the other proof, customers, complaints, and bans of 360 from other sites is enough.
I also understand they are under "System Forged" now?
After reading all of this I feel the need to actually go to this guys office or house and see what he says even though he didnt screw me.
It is ridiculous for what hes doing to honest hard working people that have paid a premium for his product that has not delivered.

c'mon we are all grown ups here
i thought the petty bull S&*t stopped in middle school...
it's unbelievable what little compassion is shown for the poor guy ..he is loosing everything , possiobly because of poor business practices, his own fault,but nobody is perfect..sometimes unethical things happen in a time of desperation....
you ppl who say he desrves to loose everything...no worries KARMA is a B%*ch
Cheers,
given the lack or response if any by 360, my guess is Jordan has written off this company long ago. most likely he will open up a new company under a new umbrella/partnership in the near future and will completely disassociate from the 360 forged due to negative press. I guess a lesson to be learned here is stick with reputable companys with solid track records, transparency, solid customer base, and relative feedback. that's a shame cause I was one of the guys who gave Jordan lots of credit and thought it was an admirable thing he was doing by going out on his own to pursue this business venture.

Seems 360 jumped ship and changed names to System Forged, no?

and yet, they are still a MB World sponsor.... how sad. do you think they will have a new "system forged" banner on this site too? i can only imagine the amount of oral Jordan is giving out to keep on good terms with the higher ups here.
