Props goes out to Gerry @ Wheels for Less & Forged 360!
Ordered a set of 19/20 Forged 360 wheels from Gerry @ Wheels for less after talking to him numerous times over about a 2 week period. Gerry put up with me bugging the sh*t out of him with 200 questions before ordering the wheels and I think I bugged him with questions half that much after ordering then LOL. He ALWAYS took my call and he always responded to my emails or private messages here...usually within minutes! Gerry is on the ball!!! I gotta admit i was really worried about ordering wheels from 360 forged after reading about a bunch of horror stories on the corvette forums and even on the bmw forums but Gerry assured me the company has changed! I was a bit skeptical but said what the heck...if all else fails my credit card company has my back! Plus Gerry seemed to be 110% sure I wouldnt have any issues with the new 360 Forged so I gave it a shot. When I ordered he told me 4-5 week build time before they would ship. He assured me I would get photos before the wheels shipped. Sure enough...last week I get a call saying my wheels are done and within minutes an email with photos in my mailbox. 4 weeks and they were already shipped! Impressive! I thought for sure they would be more like 5-6 weeks +. Most people over promise and under deliver these days...but 360 made true on their ETA. So anyway they arrived today! (July 12th) 33 days after I ordered them and they are now on my car! STOKED! They were packaged up REALLY WELL too.
Color match looks great, wheels look great...now i just need to get the sensors programmed and im good to go! So props goes out to Gerry @ Wheels 4 less...this guy put up with me being a huge pain in the azz (even though he says I wasnt...I know I was!) and Danny @ 360 Forged got sh*t handled on time! Anyone hesitant like I was about 360 forged....check with anyone who has got these wheels recently and see what they have to say. I am glad I ran into Gerry and spoke with him about wheels before jumping to buy the HRE wheels I was eyeing. HRE was more money and a longer wait. Glad I ordered the 360 forged. I am a happy customer! The car looks great and it turns heads out here in AZ. Ive only had it on the road for under an hour and have already had people at the gas station and at a stop light already compliment the car and wheels.
All I have is the pix I took right after putting the wheels on, ill get some better ones later.

Couldn't agree more about Gerry....I've asked him several questions here & he's answered every one patiently & professionally.

Sorry for the typos lol. I was realllyyyyyy tired when I was on the forums and writting this lol.
Anyway got the sensors programmed today at GM. They charged me 40 bucks. GM said they would have done it for free but the TMPS on these wheels is on the back lip so they wanted to put it on the lift to do it. But still 40 bucks wasnt to bad.
So needless to say....I am very happy with the wheels and the look of the car now. It really sets it apart from every other vette here in the Phoenix area I have seen.

Yeah, Gerry is solid! He was fast in responding to me and extremely patient as I changed my mind a few times. Mine are being built and should be in Phoenix next month... but won't make an appearance until Feb when I get back to the states.

They aren't gloss, they're satin. I had just planned on throwing them in the garage for a rainy day, it would be great if I could sell them. Still a lot of good tread left on the tires too!
