New wheels - Need opinions
I went down to my local wheel shop and found these Vertini wheels, 20x8.5. I havent bought them yet becuase im still looking around.
Just want to know what you all think about these Vertini ones.
p.s just had them displayed on the side of the car.

not bad...but they would look better on a black car...
and 20 inches is just ridiculous...my 19's are kind of a hassle so i can only imagine 20 inches...
if i were to do it all over again i would get 18's...tires are cheaper too

I dont think they look good at all,
Also why would you get the widest wheel you can find, id get the skinnies like a 19x7 because you get wider tires to increase performance through grip, all those wheels are for is a look, and add weight and certainly wont improve the cars performance an ounce.

They look ok to me, but I'd agree about an 18 or 19" size.

So 9.5 is the max i could go? Im not really focused on performance due to the laws over here in Australia (If your under 20 y.o you cant drive high performance cars) so im just going for looks. Thanks for the input boys.

An SSV with 3inch exhaust, long tube headers, hi flow cats, resonators, cold air intake & tune. It’s reasonably light and is a handful with the traction and stability controls turned off. It’s lowered with 20x8.5 on the front and 20x10 at the rear. It’s my daily so I’ve tried not to go overboard with it.
Liverpool to Parra, you have a long trip to and fro each day.
