BIG birthday gift!!!
Well today I received the 360 Forged wheels-Spec 5ive. Flat black center & Gloss black on lips. Front 20"x9" & Rear 20"x11" with Nitto Neo Gen tires all around.
They really look STUNNING in person.
I took longer than expected for delivery, but the waiting is worth.
Quality is EXCELLENT, they really took GOOD care packing all the wheels/tires to avoid cratches.
Those who still waiting for the wheels will be surprise with their own set when arrives. Have some patience!!!
Hopefully wheels/tires will be installed tomorrow. Wil post pic's once installed.

I've been thinking about 360 forged wheels but have been concerned about the wait and quality, your happy with the quality, how long of a wait did you have and did they want 100% payment up front.

Quality?, the BEST
I only paid 50% for deposit.
Yes it took longer than expected, more weeks. Reason?, the aluminum supplier was sending aluminum which didn't meet their testing criteria and had to change for another supplier and do initial testing to make sure aluminum was within their spec's. That's why so many people who order wheels at the end of the year didn't received the wheels on time.
Also I did email at least every 2 weeks to find out the status of my order which were reply. I spoke with Jordan-President of 360 Forged and told me they had improve customer service to improve customer satisfaction.
I know there many other wheels company around with great wheels, but I'm very satisfied customer with 360 Forged wheels.
More pic's will be posted today.

I did mount the 360 Forged wheels-Spec 5ive in the afternoon. I was unable to take pic's outside of my garage because started a light rain. Will wash the SL on saturday or sunday, wax and then take pic's. All the pic's are inside my garage, wheels does really look very, but very, did I said very nice on my SL55. Center caps haven't been installed, I will paint the MB center cap in flat black or just install the 360 caps.

old wheel vs 360 wheel, the 360 wheel looks much nicer than the other.
360 inside wheel details
PD: I haven't used my SL55 since placed the 360 wheels order, just wanted a NEW LOOK.
The SL55 just went couple of times to the shop for VRP headers, PTE thermostat installation, resonator delete, meanwhile don't really know how car drives with all those upgrades-including Powerchip Group upgrade. YES, I want to start driving the SL55, had been driving my Jeep SRT8 for a while which is a great and FAST SUV. Still pending the AMS pulley.
