Like most of us know, 360 Forged is not under new management. I'm not going to get into this any further, but the guys who have had the bad experiances with 360 Forged need to post about it on 6speedonline. As many of us know, the wheels are being sold to unsuspecting buyers. THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW!!!

Here are some of the other threads on that website.

fwiw, they're also trying to clean up their past history at e90post.com http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=257493

I know some companies have been able to survive a sordid past, but most have never been able to get over it. Those that have managed to make up for their blunders are the ones that do a real complete management/board/CEO/marketing sweep up. Or truly sell off the company (although in this case, there's not much value since they are basically just a reseller of wheels.)

I'm guessing 360 Forged doesn't have the resources nor the ability (or maybe the desire) to really do so. Time will give us the answer, but it's normally impossible to shake it off.

Oh really? People on G35driver.com are already getting ripped off.

Yeah, I do think that 360 Forged (now Forged DST) does have the desire to re-establish their name and their product, but there has been too much damage done to their reputation to even have much of a chance. The company wouldn't be worth much, but I will buy it and make a quality product that we can really be proud of

Oh, and here's the thread on G35driver I spoke of above, where unsuspecting potential buyers are being star struck by the "AMAZING" photoshoots. I had a few of my friends there post letting fellow board members now what is up.

The photoshoot promotion for the wheels: http://g35driver.com/forums/g35-coup...60-forged.html

Here is the thread where they introduce an introduction price of $950 per wheel and get slammed: http://g35driver.com/forums/check-ou...em-forged.html

Yeah, it's interesting how businesses these days can make themselves look good by hiring a high school kid who knows Photoshop; or better yet get a freebie "design intern" from the local art school.

All the smoke and mirrors Photoshop stuff gives businesses lots of cred in young and naive people's eyes.

Photoshop can give the impression that someone is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I know, I use it.

However, one should always ask the real solid questions. You know the W's:

When
Where
Who
What

Oh, can't forget : How

The G35 guys will learn soon enough. One guy over there is already questioning the avoidance on delivery times and how will carbon fiber stand up to heat bonded to metal. Very good questions, you have to be thinking on a chess level these days. Everyone seems to be out to rip these days.


BTW- What is the status on everyone getting refunds on past orders?
