360 Forged - Cf5ive Carbon Fiber Wheel Close Up Pics
What's up everyone?!
Here's a few close up shots of our CF5IVE. This 3 piece wheel consists of all 60/61-T6 lightweight forged aluminum components including the rim halves. The center discs are hand overlaid in real Carbon Fiber. The wheels weigh in at an average of 23 pounds depending on size and lip finish. We also offer titanium fasteners for strength and weight savings.
Keep in mind, the Carbon Fiber is for aesthetic purposes only, and not intended to save weight. I know they're not for everyone, but you can't deny the beauty of these wheels. If you're looking for something different - this is it.
Wheels start at around $1900 / wheel. They're 100% machined and built to order, and completely hub-centric. Custom finishes are also available.

Those are very nice looking wheels, I have to admit it, but I think the price point is going to kill you. You can purchase a 19" Dymag split 5 spoke wheel with a very similar look to these, with a rim that is made from real carbon fiber, that are over 7 pounds less per wheel (about 30%) for about $2000.00 +/- per wheel. Don't get me wrong 23 pounds is pretty light for even a forged wheel, but I have a pair of custom Fikses on my CLS 55 (19x10 21.8 pounds each) and paid just over $1100.00 per wheel. I guess it just comes down to personal preference, personally I would want to get the additional performance for a few hundred to a thousand bucks more.
Again, very nice looking wheel.

Are the 360's available with the black and carbon centers with a polished lip in a 22" fitment for a 2008 ML? Let me know, I may be interested in a set.

Thanks guys for your opinions, I agree with both of you. The Dymags are great wheels, however completely a different market than 360. IMO the Dymags are built for the purely performance oriented client, as our wheels are built for the performance oriented client who really wants to look good.
As far as pricing, we originaly priced them at around $6500 / set, but with the overwelming amount of orders and relatively slow production times we had to raise the price in order to control the volume. Not only that, they're are very expensive to produce. Now our production has increased, and our orders have increased as well even after the price increase.
