360 Forged was only established in 2004 but already has some unique products for Ferrari’s F430



http://www.motorauthority.com/ferrar...60-forged.html

The number of high-end performance tuning coming out of Florida appears to have no bound, with Miami’s 360 Forged being the latest to join a growing list that includes the likes Renntech and Mosler Automotive just to name a few. Unlike some of the more established firms, 360 Forged is focused on the design and manufacture of low-volume wheel packages.

Its latest kit is the Straight 5ive Carbon 20in wheels designed for the Ferrari F430 supercar. The wheels measure 8.5in across up front and up to 13in across in the rear and have had been in development for almost two years.

The wheel design features a forged aluminum outer shell with titanium reverse fasteners and a carbon-fiber cross section. Other dimensions are available, including 19 and 22in sizes. The particular unit designed for the F430 includes a gloss black lip with a Ferrari red stripe.

Other modifications to the car include the addition of a Gruppe M carbon-fiber intake system, a RennSport One and EvoMS ECU tune, a Novitec high-flow exhaust system with the catalytic converter removed, a Hamann lower lip and new H&R coilover springs.

Looks sweet but I wonder if it's designed to actually take an impact i.e. railroad crossing.

Read the fine print. The wheels aren't solid carbon fiber. They're aluminum.

I was at the supercar show last weekend and this company had quite a few of their wheels there on various cars. They looked great, especially the fake carbon ones.

I can't get into the CF wheels, but that F430 is a work of art.
