I'm considering selling my works and buying a set of varrstoen in a extremely aggressive and largest size possible. What's your guys opinion? I am the only person in aus with these wheels too not sure if many people would pay for rims what I did for these.

Hi Guys

I'm looking at upgrading my wheels but am unsure as to whether I should go 19s or 20s. I really like the Vertini Magic concaves at the moment. I like the TWS Nurburgrings too but no concave face at all :(

So, the Vertinis 19s or 20s? I have the the standard 18s and had some 19s from Tempe Tyres but one broke and they of course said it was me hitting potholes of which there are many in Sydney. What do you guys think who run 20s, are they too small a profile for crappy city roads or not?

The offsets are better too in the 20s.

Here is my Photoshop attempt with large Vertinis

I have the vertini's in 20's. I bought them second hand and they came with 225/35 up front and 255/35 on the rear. No worse than my 19's with 245/35 all round. I also run sssl/ssssl and its a little rough but not that bad. Only thing I would be aware of its going too low because I've had troubles trying to fit bigger tyres on the rear at that height. Actually contemplating going back to sssl to fit bigger tyres on the rear.

Thanks guys. I didn't realise 19s and 20s had the same profile. So does that mean the overall diameter of the 20s is therefore bigger? Do you think they cope with the bad roads as well. And there seem to be a few sets of second hand Vertinis going around, why are people selling them are they too heavy, fragile?

Cheers and thanks

cant vouch for the Venturis but yes some 20's are ridicuously heavy and gives the car a shocking ride. But in saying that so are some of the 19's on the market. Unsprung weight is a handling killer.
