360 Forged Wheels, my experience.
I've been getting a lot of pm's regarding the wheels I ordered, so I decided to make a thread to share my experience. I read all the horror stories on here and it was enough to scare me away, that was until I spoke to Alain at Forged DST. He seemed very professional and guaranteed for everything to be on time and well built (which seems to have been 360s biggest problem in the past). Here's a timeline of how my experience went:
Dec 23, 09: Called Alain and gave a $1000.00 deposit along with my order (20x9 20x11 360 Straight 5ive, Brushed face with matte black inner barrels) I was still unsure on the rivets.
Dec 28, 09: Confirmed I wanted to go with 35 rivets, I was told the wheels will be built and shipped by the four week mark(which is a normal wait time from my past experience with other companies).
Dec 28, 09 - Jan 25, 10: I received emails from Alain regarding the progress and he also answered any questions I had, never had any trouble getting hold of him.
Jan 26, 10: Wheels were ready to be shipped and Alain e-mailed me the following pics to show me what the final product was.
Jan 27, 10: Alain called and I told him I was happy with them and that he can charge the remaining balance to my card, and they were shipped. I recieved the tracking number a few hours later.
I'll post pics once they come in and I have them installed.
