360 a good wheel, but very expensive.

CCW for me. Best wheel for the price.

360 Forged are just a "premium brand", the same as D2 Forged, Modular etc....I would put the quality parallel with the others (CCW and Fikse) You find a lot of 360's on Ferrari/lambo/Bently/Porsche and other exotics....at the end of the day the other wheels are just as good and priced more reasonably they just don't have the variety with concave/2piece/3piece/monoblock. While the other brand do carry some multi peice wheels they are just an entirely different caliber of wheels IMHO. I think HRE is a decent middle of the road on that type of scale FWIW

You get what you pay for. 360 Forged, HRE, ADV.1, Vossen are all elite wheel brands that offer every possible option when ordering your wheels. From deep lips, concave centers, exotic materials, multiple paints and finishes, to custom center caps, you can get it your way. Many of the other brands do not. Again its only limited by what you want to spend. If you are looking to spend 2k=CCW's, 9k=ADV.1 in between that, 360forged and HRE.

If I was to spend $1200 per rim I would get HRE's hands down, with that being said I am happy with my CCWs

If I could buy HRE's for $1200/wheel absolutely. But honestly can't go wrong with any of your choices my friend. There are lots and lots of custom wheel companies, and they are all great. Different designs, finishes etc etc. We deal in 360, HRE, DPE, ADV etc etc and do about 9 sets a month for 360 forged on Z06s alone.

Best of luck with your purchase, if you need anything hollar

Being unique is never cheap. I tried a couple of different brands on my C6 but when I get my C7 I'll be going with a top tier brand of wheel.

I don't agree that the HRE's are middle of the road, I would put them at the top, maybe I'm wrong.

OP I think that the quality with all the brands is good, if you find a style that you like with a cheaper brand I would go for it. I choose my 360's over CCW's because I thought it was better looking, but that's all personal preference. I would have gladly bought the CCW's and not have had a 2nd thought about their quality, I just didn't like the styling as much... For me it was literally a toss of a coin between HRE and 360.

I've read nothing but good things about the quality and customer service of CCW, but I would like to see them come out with some new style wheels.

I purchased custom wheels back in September, hopefully by the end of this month I will have wheels that actually fit the way I want.

I will buy HRE's next time!

I have heard nothing but good about CCW wheels and support. For the price you can not beat them.

Consider this:

CCWs end up on a lot of race cars.

Hi $ wheels with "forged" in the name pose for pictures most of the time.

I was actually interested in some Vossens prior to buying my 360s. I believe they were the Z870 or something like that. I spoke with 360 rep and he steered me away from them, saying "we've gotten alot of unhappy converts from Vossen, chrome peeling and lack of wheel integrity"

LOL how I wish I remembered his name. I would call him back and have a few words to say to him lol
