2nd opinion

Hey fam,

Stumbled across these wheels for sale for $500?

Vertini VS02 20x9.5 et39 square,

Pirelli P Zero 275/40/20 with not that much life left,

Seller says no bends, cracks, or curb damage, just needs to move them,

Is there something I’m missing,

Is the lug pattern 5x112? Also, you may want to check to see if that fits. Most people running 20s go down to 30 profile, not up to 40.

Yeah, 5x112,

I have HKS adjustable springs and will raise them a tad if need be. They also don’t have much life in them if you can see so replacement within a few thousand miles. Get a few burnouts in them

I think you'd probably be fine in the rear, I'd just worry about the fronts fitting.

Do you trust the structural integrity of this wheel should you hit a pothole or any defect in the road. Lot's of factors to consider when buying wheel and my biggest one is wheel strength. I don't know if you can fit these in the front tbh. Rears should be ok

Come to think of it, the price makes me worry that this set of wheels won't.

I’m going tonto take a look at them tomorrow. I’ll post some more photos

Too skinny in the rear, it’ll look weird..

The tires don’t have much life in them. I will be getting new tires for them, I also have spacers, burger Motorsports 13/15

How heavy are the wheels? Don't go just putting new wheels on for the sake of it. You might end up being slower than OEM.

It says here the 24" is 35 lbs!

OEM wheels are ~25 pounds a corner, and forged.

Back to the tires - that tire is 8% larger in diameter than the stock rear tire. That’s enormous. I’ve owned trucks in my life that came with smaller tires. You’re going to rub constantly.
The wheels are really too narrow in the rear - they’re half an inch narrower than the stock rear wheel. Is that what you’re going for?
It seems to be a decent wheel (just over 20lbs for a 20”, I’ve found), but they make absurd claims like how they are going to ‘revolutionize the industry by offering a forged wheel that’s lighter than cast, while remaining strong’ - which is literally the entire point of a forged wheel.

Anyway, I’m nitpicking. If you like them, go for it, but neither the wheel nor tire here is ideal for the Supra.

Yeah the tires are absurd. Ultimately I’d love to have my wheels stripped and cleared from an auto body shop. The finish under the factory pain on the OEM wheels are?

Main reason I want wheels is because I want silver wheels. Gold, black, white etc IMO just doesn’t look good on the renaissance red and I just so happened to stumble across these.

I feel like for $500 even if the tires are no good, don’t fit or whatever the case it’s a good deal for just the wheels themselves.

As for their claim it is quite gimmicky but I think that can be chalked up to poor advertising lol. It is quite gimmicky tho I agree.

These are forged as well, and lighter. Going to take a good look at them later today.

I agree. They need to be lighter. I find it insane at the price that some of the stock set of wheels are tires go for here on the forms. Our OEM wheels are forged.. to then put cast on is insane.
