My New 360 Forged Spec 5 Wheels!!

I had these put on last week. I think they look amazing in person and I get compliments on them every day.

I would like to thank Jordan from 360 Forged for taking very good care of me. He has definitely earned my future business.

Is that an ML or a CL? Just foolin' with ya'. Get an ELM and you'll be set. I'm not a big fan of chrome, but they do look good on your car.

Thanks. Honestly the pictures don't do it justice. The center caps were painted pewter to be color matched to my car. The chrome really does look nice because of all the chrome accents on the car. I wish the picture did it justice. Anyway I'm happy with the look. I'm thinking of the ELM but it drives so nice now that I don't know if I want to sacrifice the ride quality. It really doesn't look that bad without it being lowered IMO although I know it would look better lowered. I have to think about it for a while.

very cool wheels... but the stockers are still my fav

after debating on wheels for a month now... i have to say the stockers are the best looking wheels hands down for these cars....i came to this decision that the stock wheels set our cl65's apart from the rest of the pack.....plain and simple.... so i took the money and am spending it on a tune instead

Thanks. To each his own. I'm telling you that if you saw the car in person you may think different. Most of my co-workers who know my car very well have all unanimously said these wheels make the car look much much nicer.

Let me know how your tune turns out.

The wheels look fantastic, they're 19's right?

Ask the photog for a refund though, as you mentioned, the pics don't do justice.

They are 20" x 9" in front (255/35) and 20" x 10" in rear (285/30). I have a lousy digital camera and the sun was aiming toward the left side of the car so I couldn't get a good shot.

Larry get the Renntech ELM... you can make adjustments in your car (have it wired to your glove or under your seat) and you can go up or down 50mm.

In addition to that you also have the ABC three level button too. I have the Renntech ELM and I slammed the car. If I want a little more comfort I just hit the ABC button to one light. Remember you are not changing the shocks or springs so by using the inside button you can manipulate a stock height for comfort and/or uneven roads.

My sig, albeit not that big, should give you reference to what my ride height is.

That is one of the most elegant aftermarket wheels I've seen in years. You have excellent taste. From your plate I take it you're an anesthesiologist? I run the nursery at Jackson South Hospital. We may have some MD friends in common. PM me if you'd like.

Again, thank you all for the very nice comments. Only true enthusiasts understand and appreciate why one spends some real money to upgrade the look and performance of a car. I'm glad I did it. We are all crazy and we all know it

Happy Holidays to all!!!
