Your minium wait will be 3 months, and it could take as long a 5 months. The problem you have is these wheels are made to order and you choose colour, type, finish and width, so there not off the shelf wheels.
I believe 3 months (12 weeks) should be the time line that any product that you order that needs to be manufactured should take. I usually wait that long for furniture and other items to be made and imported into the country. The problem is that with wheels you usually walk into a tyre/wheel shop, see the wheels on the self, say I want a set and you come back a couple days later and have them fitted as they are mass produced. 360 wheels are not mass produced and the demand is outstriping supply, the problem you have is whether you want to wait 3-5 months for these wheels or go buy a mass produced wheel. Yes it it frustrating and I jumped up & down like the next guy did. It's the same for me with BMW, I have ordered my third X5 E70, this one I ordered at the end of Jan 09, it will not go into production unit early April 09 and I won't get it here in Australia until the end of May or early June 09, thats 4-5 months, I could go and buy one off the showroom floor but I want one with all the options and dealers don't order X5's fully optioned up to sell of the floor. It's using the same principal, I don't want the standard mass produced product and for that I have to wait, I am not happy about it and I have told the dealer who is a mate of mine its crap but thats the way it is.

Forgeline only makes wheels per order, nothing is in stock. Everything from style, finish, color, hardware option must be selected at time of order.
The last set I ordered from Forgeline took 4 (that's right, four) weeks to deliver to our shop door. How's that for service?! I will continue to recommend them to our customers looking for custom wheels. |

lots of posts here on this topic. 360 is notorious for being late and basically overcommitting/underdelivering. the wheels are nice but they are a pain in the ass to deal with based on my experience. i'll never buy another set from them again - too much hassle.
Thx, BC

Welcome to the club. If I do not get the wheels within the next week to 10 days, I am going to demand a full refund and order either HRE, DPE, or BBS wheels. And if they refuse to give a refund I will get an attorney involved. It has been 12 weeks since I ordered...finish date was supposed to be Feb 22.

Sounds like growing pains. Shouldn't be taking orders if they can't handle the volume. Glad I didn't order a set of their split five spoke.

You do realize they make multiple sets of each style wheel?
