Default Iforged Swift or Volk TE37?

Hello CL members,

I am having a hard time on deciding whether I should run the Iforged Swift or the Volk TE37 on my SGM IS250. I am running TE37 in bronze 19x8.5 and 19x9.5. I got the iforge rims from a buddy of mine, same rim size and width. He is out of country now and let me test running these. Wanna ask for your opinion. lol

Below are some pictures:

Just take one sides wheels off in your driveway and replace those 2 with the iForged. Then take a picture with just that side

I'm not a huge fan of mesh but also not a fan of racer looking wheels on the IS. So if I had to choose I'd go with the i Forged.

You can't go wrong with the te's, but the Iforged dosn't look bad, pics will definitely help.

I love the TE's, but they're everywhere. I'd go with the iForged to be unique.

ya, there is a pretty big scratch on one of the rim and a small bent on the inner side.
condition of them arent good, so I will probably need a shop to repolish the lip and fix the scratch and bent.
Anyone knows a decent shop in socal with good price and quality? lol
