Strasse Forged + Raymond Niece + NMPeter - MY350Z.COM Forums

Long shpiel about 360 Forged, but before someone mentioned Strasse != Kranson. I dunno, I don't really care.

Hey guys, Im Chris, one of the owners of Strasse Forged. Just wanted to clear things up a bit. Just to get to the point 360 is 360, NOTHING to do with Strasse Forged. All that crap that went on with 360 was actually done by the guy that left 360 and started adv1. My company is not and has nothing to do with 360 or any other wheel company. There are many z06's in Fl, and I own one of the ones in the pics. Believe me none of our z06' or any other cars for that matter, were ever used by any other wheel companies. Black or blue z06's look identical when next to each other lol. Ill actually go over your points in order....

caps look nothing alike.. look at the wheel details. we have angle cuts and many more fasteners.

vinyl... theres not many places to place stickers

cf finish... no not many ppl do that at all, its very expensive to do, and very hard to find a facility capable of doing it right

S5... stands for strasse 5 spoke.

yes our sales office is based out of Fl, but our manufacturing facility is in Ca.

exist at same time? 360 still exists.

Unfortunately people had horrible experiences with 360 and I understand the concerns, but do a little more research before starting rumors please. Check out what I first stated here and youll see everything I said is true.

Google the crap out of us, and you will see there is not one unhappy customer or complaint. There's no way to hide what people write on the forums and I guarantee you wont find any negative stuff about us. We have wheels all over the country, and even in other continents, deliver when wheels are due, or even before due date many times. And have very high quality powder coat and paint. Not to mention fully test all of our designs and sizes vigorously to guarantee the integrity and quality of our wheels.

On the other note, Thanks for the comments guys. We might sponsor or become vendors on this site soon too. Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have.

Thanks guys
Chris

take it for what you will. or ask bullitt.

OK first of all Chris Carrillo runs Strasse Forged. The quality wheels and service that I and others have received from Chris and Strasse Forged has been nothing but the highest standard. I spoke with Carlos a few years ago and he is definitely not Chris...

I will have to beg to differ! The designs are not only way different but so is the quality!!! I being an owner would say Strasse Forged quality = HRE Quality and I have owned both brands!

Again Strasse Forged is owned and operated by Chris Carrillo...

Having bought wheels from Strasse I can honestly say that it was one of the best purchase experiences ive had. My wheels were custom ordered and came in ahead of schedule. I was sent pictures of the wheels throughout the entire process and kept in contact. All of my questions were answered quickly and I didnt have any of the unanswered calls or PM's like ive had from other people. I dont know who is who but I can vouche for Strasse as someone who has purchased their products.

bullitt5897 · 03-30-2011, 04:09 PM

I personally kept Brandon up to date on his wheels through the entire build process! the second the status of his wheels changed I called or picture texted him the new updates! Thats one of the great advantages of buying strasse forged you get to see every step of your wheels being made. Have questions we answer them for you when you ask! Not only that but I give all my customers my personal cell phone number and I answer every call I receive!!! How many business owners do that?

@ Brandon I would love to see a review and pics on your buying experience and wheels.

Mike

TO SET THIS STRAIGHT

This is Chris, one of the owners of Strasse Forged.

Strasse Forged has nothing to do with any other company. Never has. Not only do we have a facility in Ca, we now have one in South Florida too. None of our employees have ever even worked for any other wheel company either. We are extremely picky about who works for us, we don't like the guys that tend to hop around from company to company so we stay away from that.

Funny thing is, yes we now have the building Kranson/HDM used to have. I wont state why we have it since its not my place to put anyone else's private business out there, but yea its ours now. No they have nothing to do with us, never will.

About the quality, Ill keep it professional and not put other wheel companies "quality" out there either. But we don't cut any corners, no matter how much more it brings our cost up. Not to mention fully test each of our designs in every size before releasing them to the public, UNLIKE OTHER GUYS I KNOW ABOUT. Please be my guest and do some research on us to see that I can happily say there is not one unhappy customer since we opened our doors. Lol I am extremely picky about everything that has to do with us, especially our quality and customer service. I even inspect every set before they ship out myself!
