Experiences with 360 Forged Wheels?
Curious if anyone has had personal experiences with 360 Forged wheels ( http://www.360forged.com/)
According to their specs, their 20x9 and 20x10 wheels only weight 21.4 and 22.3 lbs, respectively.
I think their Spec TWELVE wheels looks pretty hot.

Hey EuroCarFan Ranger here, make very sure you press them hard on the weights. These are local for me and I've picked them up. The split 5 spoke and the 10 spoke wheels felt heavy as sh*t.
They are beautiful wheels but what I lifted were not 21 or 23 lbs wheels.

I talked to my shop and they said the weights will vary depending on the offsets for a particular fitment and he's pretty sure the wheels for our car is heavier than the claimed 21-23lbs.

True the weights will vary with model and offsets.
I have since had more chance to know the company since they are local and the design and construction quality is very good.
They are developing a big following.
Cheers, M5Ranger...Juan

Is there any possible way their wheels can really be as light as they claim? They are multi-piece wheels with large barrels. But from what I read on their site, their 20" wheels, .5" wider widths are lighter than my Neez wheels!! How can this be? Are they Ti? Mg? (I know they are not, sarcasm) It seems too good to be true! Or are they just that good?!
