Default 360 Forged Wheels pair up with a 69 Pro Touring Vette

It was only fitting that after going through an extensive update to my ride which included a LS7/4L60E combo and many other new modern components that the wheels be updated with a new look, feel, style. I contacted Gerry from 360 here on the forum for which he directed me to their headquarters here in Miami (I live in Miami). I was shocked to see anything made and or assembled in America let alone in Miami but sure enough 360 cuts the centers right here in Miami from the solid aluminum discs and does the final assembly and finishing touches. I thought to myself very fitting for good old American Muscle have these wheels on my ride. After much debate we decided to go with the classic 5 star pattern but with the modern twist to styling being the concave spokes. I was shocked when the rolled out the wheel for my eyes to see for the first time Saturday. They look great sitting still and even more amazing in motion down the highway which I will get some video later on of them in action rolling down the road.

360 Forged 5 Star Concave
Front 19x9.5 @ 4.5" BS 275/35/19 Nitto Invos
Rear 19x12.0 @ 5.0" BS 345/35/19 Nitto Invos

For now here are the still pics

LOL!!! I just wish the girl with the scooter was a little sexier

I have motorcycle license (went through riders course) and instantly decided I would kill myself in short time including a scooter as I like to lead on the highway. At least I have the smarts to realize for myself that any type of 2 wheel transportation is not for me...not that the 69vette the way I drive it is any better but at least I am always strapped down in my 5 point harness.

Hey guys...here are some initial photos from 360 Forged as they got their photo guy to take some great pics. I will have a rolling (in motion) photo shoot done also that will keep the car in focus on a highway with the rest around it a little blurred/fuzzy

the first one is my favorite

I simply can't find the right words to describe the awesomeness of your car, outstanding job! Sometimes simple lines and subtleness are the correct choice for a car to be different and beautiful.

Thank you very much for noticing that we went for the simple & clean look. No graphics, stripes, badges, etc. Similarly with the outside of the car the engine bay is the same being all black and one or another shade of silver/chrome/polished/grey. I for some reason don't have a finished pic of the engine bay but you get the idea from the pic below. No multi-color wiring, hoses, etc under the hood either.

Truthfully it's that simple style I prefer, but I do appreciate other peoples cars that go with more complex looks, ( diffusers, big wings, chrome wheels, graphics, multi color paint schemes ) but it's just not for me.

I also am not usually a fan of side pipes but they balance out the look of the car perfectly with the front and rear bumpers. Plus the fact that side pipes were an option on older vettes and were somewhat neccessary makes it cool too. I'll bet they sound incredible also. I also hope someday to have a pro touring type car but I haven't decided on the platform yet. Perhaps a chevy II or older style nova thats been mini tubbed and has a vette running gear too, we'll see.

Engine bay looks killer, once again suits my taste perfectly, love the bracket finishes and the clean look. Man I bet she's a blast to drive, my LS7 is stock and I still get chills when I open her up. Great pics and again, fantastic job, feels great when you have a plan and it all comes together doesn't it?
