Work or Volks?

Hey guys, so right now I'm torn between the Work Emotion Kiwamis (Bronze) and the Volk G27 Progressive. I love both wheels so I'm torn between the design of each. I know the Volks are forged so they are lighter and stronger, but will it be a drastic difference on the street? I doubt I'll notice, but correct if me I'm wrong. I'm just asking about opinions of design and aesthetics. I own a blue slate g37 coupe for reference. Both would be 19s.

Also, side note, does anyone know the exact weight or each wheel? I haven't found any exact numbers except that the works are around 24 lbs.

Thanks!

Can't go wrong with either, I'm more on the thrifty side, lol so I'd go w/ the Kiwamis, but the Rays aren't as common so there's that.

Another wheel maker based in the us I've used many of their wheels. You can go from 1 piece to 3 piece forged wheels and customize to your tastes. But they can get expensive if you go super custom but check out their site and call them. They tend to have stock sitting around for repairs so you could score a nice set for decent price

Most are going to say "Work", but I would prefer the Volk because they aren't as common. Both are nice and will look good on the car though
