Default HELP: 20" Brushed Face / High Polished Lip.

Hey CL,

The time has almost come to put wheels on the new whip but I'm seriously torn between 3. All will have a brushed face, high polish lip (maybe full barrel), TPMS, 20x8F & 20x10R, dropped on TEIN CST, Lower in the front, little higher in the rear.

My car is Glacier White Frost...actually I don't know WHAT color it is? Crystal? Starfire? Glacier? It's the one that's Super White with Pearl, not the one that's creamy white.

Chime in and let me know what you guys think.

1.) D2Forged VS4





2.) Vossen Forged VF061




3.) 360 Forged Competition Spec 5ive




Any and all feedback is apprecaited.

Darius

Thanks DunnoJack for the chop:

C'mon dude, all of these are equally sweet. How can a choice be made. If forced to choose, I'd go with the first wheel.

i say 360 forged, only because it's the only one without the damn name stamped across the spokes.

i like clean, logo-less spokes, esp if i want to swap out the center cap for a lexus cap

d2forged and the vossen are both really nice. I like the other designs the companies make over the ones you chose, but to each his own.

someone posted pics before of 360 wheels rusting.

the brand was later "under new management".


All of these wheel brands are new, and can go under any day.

Customer service is critical to me. I have a set of cracked and bent iForged sitting in my garage collecting dust right now because Iforged want to charge me $1200 to repair them. I can't even fix them and sell them because there would be no profit.

360 Forged is pretty much unknown to me. Vossen seems to have a good rep, especially here on CL. D2Forged is run by Derrick Williams and he's proven a thousands times that he stands behind his company and his products. In the end though, I want to be happy every time I open the garage, not feel like I settled on the best price, best warranty, etc.

Thanks for the replies, please keep 'em coming and VOTE.
