They area Asanti's AF147 and I have since powdercoated the centers all black due to chrome peeling issues fyi.
Here they are now but before I had the rears widened to 10" and put 285's on them

Interesting, my son had Asanti's & the chrome peeled, but they put the blame to an occasional gravel road.
I have Lexani's (same outfit) & no peeling. By your pics were they a black chrome & did they compensate for the peeling?

Pretty sure 360 forged is out of business. After ripping people off and floating on the customers dime these kids got caught. They were nice wheels but scam artists. And I work and deal custom forged wheels. TF

You're wrong sir. The 360 Forged line is heavily operating under its original brand, Forged Distributing, and is currently selling more than ever. Prices are better and the service is beyond that. What you speak of was taken care of over a year ago.
Considering it seems you just got here, if you have personal questions about it, just PM me.

Still waiting on her to get back from the body shop. This happened at the end of November.
Lessons Learned:
1. Chinese tires suck.
2. Replace your tires when you start noticing they suck in the rain.
3. Avoid the left lane of the interstate in Tornado conditions (heavy rain)
4. If you can't see the road because of a truck's spray, don't chance passing it, just back way the **** off.
5. Take it to a body shop that knows the difference between a regular CTS and a V. If they don't know the difference, they will order the wrong pieces for it.
6. Its great to have good insurance.
7. Going backwards down the interstate at 60mph after hitting a big *** puddle and then sliding into a guardrail is not a great way to get home from work.
8. Just because Carfax says your vehicle was never in an accident doesn't mean your rear quarter panel isn't made of bondo.

lol, thanks as always fern. my tires are actually doing pretty good considering how low the car is. the nitto invo doesn't wear as bad as some, but what helps the most was that i had it aligned at a place that deals with lots of custom and high end cars. with all that negative camber i have, my rears lasted over a year, and they're the ones that were near $300 ea. for reference they're a 285/25/20 and fronts are 245/30/20. i've only replaced the fronts once.
