DOn't be so hasty. 360 Forged is now owned by another company that has picked up the pieces and taken care of all the problems. I think the company is DST but I'll have to check on MBWorld and 6speed to make sure.
I'm not advocating for them just wanted you to know the updated information on them.

As you can see from the polls D2 is killing it from a long shot. I've bought two sets of wheels from Derrick and the Man knows his stuff. I think the polls speak for themselves.. D2 FTW.. 
I don't think lettering on the wheel spokes should determine your decision for wheels. thats ridiculous

i think the vossen design is more unique.
the D2 looks so plain
But I'll help you decide:
you should have a mod move this to Car Chat, and you can copy this chop to the first post..
More people will vote there.

I say stick with Vossen. When was the last time you ever heard of a wheel manufacturer offering to send a person a wheel so the can se the quality for themselves . I am impressed by the confidence and by the level of backing the give their products. If I need/want a new set of wheels I am going to check them out

360 forged, I can honestly say they have been through a lot. Yes, at one time they had a very big problem. Today, they are indeed under new management SO that means they are more stable and slowly coming back. The new own seems to be a stand up guy, they are still warrantying the work from the previous owner's wheels that were sold. Given, the bad exposure they have gotten in the past, they will never recover IMO to when people were buying them like hot cakes. I bought mine wayyy before any of the problems, my wheels have no rust or anything.
Take my word on this, I know more about the newer companies that are spring up and which ones are more reliable then others.

Regarding the name printed on the spoke: I love it!! That's one of the features I like about the Vossen's & D2's.
D2s: I love the curvature of the spoke, not too extreme and not completely flat. I like the bolt pattern but don't like the way the end of the spoke flares out into a wide triangle. Not a deal breaker though. I also like that D2 seals their brushed faces with a clear coat. Haven't seen what this looks like in real life but rust-free and scratch-free is a good selling point.
Vossens: The design of the split spoke, especially, between the spokes and the outer rim on the face, is unique and just HOT. I also like the 10-bolt pattern and curvature of the spoke on these.
Centercap: This counts for me! A crappy centercap can mess up the whole flow of the wheel like putting a big orange stocker on the side of your car. I like the etched centercaps of iForged & D2. A chrome centercap on a brushed face would look stupid to me. That's the only time I would replace it with the Lexus logo.
Thanks again for everyone's feedback - I'm still undecided.
