when your talking 7400 for the wheels and 1400+ for tires your talkin $8800 for a set of wheel... thats absolutely crazy try cutting your wheel price in half.....that would make the wheels/tires cost nearly 1/3rd the cost of the car :-O

8800 bucks can buy you alot of guaranteed happiness elsewhere... even if you spent half that on wheels and the other half on engine mods

OP - Why on these wheels worth 1850 each? What is so special about them? I hope you can clarify. Thanks

I do want to echo a question above me and ask, WHY and WHAT about your wheels make then better than a set of, say, Rays forged wheels. I just never understood why yours, HRE, and some others out their are THAT expensive.

Well, I can understand super lightweight mag wheels - there are exceptions.

Are these produced in America? If so why are we - American's - paying more when we can get a set of the new TE37 G2's for what, half the price? A friend of mine with an RS4 has a set of the p90 HRE's and they're gorgeous but besides it being a custom wheel and already hubcentric I dont understand why they are that much more?

Are yours stronger than say Rays forged wheels (similar to the OEM wheel they produce)...

Are yours lighter? That sure hasnt been the case for most of the iforged/HRE/etc etc type wheels that I have picked up.

I love your designs, and you seem like your trying to turn over a new leaf but please help us understand why your wheels are that much more superior to some of the top manufactures out their.

EDIT: I'm not sure why i put the America thing on this post, and I know the answer to that would probably be "well we pay our people more than they do" and thats legit, but I would like answers for everything else!

I really like the way these look a lot....
But the price is extremely prohibitive. I can't afford these. I'm sure you'll get a couple sets sold though, there are some pretty rich guys out there.

360 Forged is pretty popular down here (South Florida) I was wondering why they stopped posting on FSS though.

The cars that they build their wheels for are WELL out of the 370Z's price range.

I'm talking Lambo's, 911's, Z06's, GTR's, M3's, M5's, and the like. A lot of high end cars where that price would be reasonable. They really shouldn't make any wheel lines specifically for the 370Z imo. Most people that own this car won't drop 9 Grand on wheels and tires.

A wheel is a wheel... just because you have a GTR /z06 / lambo - you should not HAVE to spend that kinda money... its just insane. I agree that most ppl who have those cars COULD afford the wheels but thats different...

I don't necessarily agree with the concept of paying more for your parts because the car they go on is more but thats life....
