Looks like the Straight Tens are getting no love. What about any of the other 360 Forged designs?
Is there a 360 Forged soundtrack available? Submarine sonar sound in the background..very nice.

This is their full line up. Honestly I don't think they make an ugly wheel.
If your Rad's are pushing ~30 lbs. You could save 40+ lbs, unsprung weight too. How much is the race prep option, sub 20 lbs 20' wheels is crazy.

Not sure what these DPE's weigh but I think he is looking to drop some unsprung weight. These forged 360's are super double ultra light!!

DPEs are about the same weight as the Radenergies.
The quotes I have so far on the 360 wheels are around $5K shipped just for the wheels. Add to that another $600 for the race prep option so it's $5.6K a set.
I still love my R10s but was looking for something lighter. With the exception of the Straight Ten design, all the other 360 wheels look relatively similar to other wheels on the market that's why I was leaning towards the Straight Ten. That style definitely stands out in that group of wheels and is more noticeably different compared to other wheels out there. We'll see.....
My other option is just to stick with my R10s but refinish them. Machine polish the face and do black windows. That should definitely set it apart from all other R10s out there. Just gotta get the weight issue out of my mind.

My Ride: 07 BMW 525i Premium Package, Xenon Lighting Package, manual Transmission. Titanium Grey, 20% Tint around the back, 70% V-Kool on front.
Planned mods: Style 71 wheels with Toyo Proxy 4 tires, Sachs suspension upgrade, upgraded stereo, and many more to come.
any idea what this race prep option so that they can shave off 4 lbs per corner?!
20 lb for a 20" is reallllyyyy good.
how about other light weight option, like the BBS RS-GT? i think that's around the same weight too, and they are super strong too.
just throwing out ideas...
