Wow that price is hard to beat... plus they look very similar to mesh 8's which IMO is the nicest looking wheel for the c6/z. I would really love to know the weight of these wheels in the z06 sizes? I assume no chance of a chrome lip?
Are you going to be getting a sample before December to post actual real pics of these wheels?

hmm... that pic of the blue Z looks nearly identical to the 360 forged mesh 8 pic here: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3429/...b1ef737b72.jpg
In fact it looks like Zforce just took that picture and photoshop'd it (all the details about the car are the same, minus the 360 sticker on the back). Even the wheels are oriented the exact same way...
seems a little fishy to me, unless Z-Force is 360 under a different name for alloy wheels (opposed to 3 piece forged).
So corvette wheels... what is going on here? I just would like to know the whole story as i'm sure many others do too...

THE ZFORCE WHEELS ARE CAST WHEELS. NOT FORGED, but look identical.
I can appreciate the investigative nature of your post, but there is absolutely no relation between 360 and ZFORCE other than the styles being similar... If you've ever visited our website, you'll see many 360 pics, as we are a distributor of their line as well, and have had permission to use their pics for over a year now.
We are offering the look of a multi-pc wheel at a fraction of the cost. For those that DO want forged, feel free to inquire, as we are also authorized distributor for every major brand.

There's nothing fishy about it, nor is there a "dramatic" story attached to it. It's a 360 forged picture photoshopped to show what they will look like. It happens to be a very good picture of a z06, which is made by Chevy, not 360 Forged. We never claimed anything different. It was simply to show someone who asked earlier what they would look like on the car. The "style" is 8 spoke-mesh made in a 3-pc forged wheel by many different manufacturers including COR, 360, D2, and many others.

Any plans for a brushed center?

No, cast wheels cannot have a brushed center as they are mass produced rather then built custom per order. A lot goes into a set of custom forged wheels which is why the price is SO much higher.
The ONLY finish the wheel is going to come with is Satin black, with a polished lip. Either the lips, or the centers, can be painted for $399 / set.

Hi,
So 50% today secures a set? Also, any idea what's on the center cap? I would prefer a blank centercap to put my own Corvette Cross Flags on it for a OEM look.
Thanks,
Scott
