thinking of buying some vertini fashions in 20 inch for my VE clubby just wondering general thoughts on them as I have looked for as long as I have owned it & I struggle to find something I like, but I do like these wheels.
20x 8 front 20x10 1/2 rear.

I think they're a good looking wheel. Suit the VE's quite well IMO.
Fox also make the same wheel which are a bit cheaper but I don't think they do the wide rears... Just makes them a bit more common/popular I guess

I love the fashions.
I have vertini Regency on my vy and wish i got the fashions.
But Vertini seem to be a very well made wheel, after a year of having them they still look brand new

thanks fella's I was always after something with a larger lip[ on the rear but the rotors were always the issue with that, which is why I give up looking for ages.
there is a VESS UTE here with a set on but front & rear are the same, even so it looks sweet so all going well I might have them soon, then I might sell my R8 wheels

Those wheels look great in 22" but in 20" they look completely disgusting. I was almost going to buy them after seeing them on a couple of black Capa cars...Seen them on cars with 20" and so glad I didn't buy them in 20s. Just stuck with the standard VE SSV wheels until I can find a rim I like. Don't really want 22s on my road car at the moment.

the trouble with my car is it is too low for 22's so I have to go 20;s because Im not lifting it up for the xtra 2 inches no way

i had these wheels 2 years ago, they dont fit right, the offsets are just wrong,they scrubbed, and are just dam cheap wheels,i thought they looked unreal but they are another cheap chinese wheel
this is my opinion only (but the fitment was truely crap)

shit dude now you are scaring me, ok I know they are oldish but Im havin trouble getting something with a lip that fits over the rotors, but these keep popping up & they do impress me especially as the set Im looking at has a bigger lip on the rear. a few I did look at were totally hot but were about $1.000 per rim & thats out of my budget by a mile

I lowered this car for someone on here...they look like 22's but it was riding higher than that.
Dont rush your wheel choice, i know you have been looking around for ages but i know first hand what a pain rims can be if they are slightly on the cheap or dont fit correctly.
I had vertini mclaren on mine.never had a problem with fitment or scrubbing.8.5 inch fronts and 10 inch rears.

Everyone's got their own tastes but I bought a set of SSW Phantoms and couldnt be happier. The polished finish with a bit of dish does me every time. Check them out. Paid 3k with tyres for 22s in Perth.

Not too sure if they fit over the HSV brakes.
that is the biggest issue we have!

I,ve been told by a few people that they will fit, there is a red clubby with a set in a earlier post on here, I did give up looking because of the brakes but the vertini,s look smart
the only thing if I get them the cam will have to wait

I bought some 20" fashions but they "DID NOT" the tyre shop was told they would..the 22's fit but the 20's don't so I went the wheels I have now because the 20's did fit and they have a deep dish....VERY VERY hard to find for the HSV's as you already know.

I originally wanted fashions for the Monaro but they didn't come in 19's which was the size I needed. Found the Blaque Diamonds which looked similar and I couldn't be happier. Got 8.5 front and 9.5 rear. Just waiting on the new brakes to fill that void. They go all the way up to 24" and they're also suitable for big brakes so HSV's shouldn't be a problem.

Are they the one's with a twist element in them?
I've got Vertini's "Twists" on mine. Can't recall the name but i think they were mclaren.
Never seen another set yet though.
Thought i may have been special :(
