Last minute opinions (wheels)

Just wanting some last minute feedback before I place the order

What they will be going on



All wheels will be brushed face with chrome lip. 20"
Also, I am aware of the problems that people have had with the old management of 360, i'm not too concerned about that.

1. Forgiato Martellato




2. 360 Straight 5ive







3. 360 Spec 5ive






What do you guys think? I am leaning towards #2

Not to stir up any crap here, but what's the deal with 360?

CLS55 plus a few Ducati's
All the wheels are beautiful but I would not buy from 360 unless I had both money in reserve until I received the wheels and a means of claiming back if they fail to deliver. Good luck

2006 CLS55 AMG Sold 2010 E550 Coupe totaled '13 SL550 current and loving it!
I've put some sort of 5 star rim on avery car I've owned. I don't have a cls but if I did I think I would do a multi spoke like Full Throttle has. The five star for some reason doesn't seem to fit the cls as well. The stocks look fine I think because they are a thick spoke. Obviously it is your car get what you like. Post pics when you get them!

i would stay clear of forgiatos. the quality is not that great. if i was you i would go with the 360 forged concave 5ive. im dying to see a set of those on a cls. plus the cls has a low offset so you can get a deep concave

Of the choices I will go with 360 Straight 5ive. FYI...their clear coat sucks. I just had mine redone. I have 360 MultiSpec 10 with Rivets on my CLS. Mine is Diamond White. If you decide to go with 360...look at their Concave...looks very good.Will take picture once I get my front lip.

Just me, but I wouldn't patronize....

any business who had treated customers they way they have. You don't have to email me and tell me all the stuff, I've read it. Old customers were still taken advantage of. There are lots of other great options out there from plenty reputable sellers. OK, flame suit on.

Took care of it myself. Knowing them I probably won't see the wheels for months and plus shipping and all that is not worth the headache and money that I will save. I had them done locally and paid for it. Will posted some pictures when I get my front lip. BTW...your car look great with the COR. Mine is the same but with rivets and it is 11" on the rear.

spec 5ive gets my vote, but make sure to do your research on 360 - your fellow board members can speak from experience

@ the OP, have you considered Vossen? I have not heard of any issues from them, and I have some Vossen's which I am very pleased with.

BTW- Vossen has a concave rim as well.

The AMG OEM wheels would look soo much better if they were a more deeper concave. I like the 360 straight five spoke the best out of these tho.

Great to see your sticking with 5 spokes, goes best with the body lines imo.

+1 for the 360 Spec 5ive! One reason, they look really light, lower rotating mass and unsprung weight FTW. Whatever you choose will look awesome though, all great looking wheels.

BTW where the hell has your 55 been? havnt seen it in your driveway for ages?!

From what i've read all the issues were with Jordan the previous owner of the company, unless someone on here had problems recently thanks

CLS55 & CL CK60
i have a white CLS55 lowered with the 360 straight 5. i can tell u that the pics dont do it justice. it is truly an unbelievable looking wheel on our car. i get people stopping nearly everyday and wanting to take photos, telling me its one of the nicest cars they have seen. imho - 360 straight 5 is perfect for CLS.

as far as 360 - they finished my wheels during this whole fiasco that everyone is talking about. it took 4 months total but i believe they are much faster now. deal with ALAIN (owner) and tell him aaron from palm beach said to call. they have gotten better. i have had a couple issues since i bought them and they took care of it ASAP and always get back to me. play at your own risk - but if i had it to do over again i would definitely not hesitate. the only difference is i can drive to the shop and raise bloody hell if i need to.
