questions about non reinforced fd wheels

Well i made the mistake of purchasing wheels without making sure they were the reinforced version. The person i bought them from said that they were off a 94 so i made a dumb assumption... i Purchased 2 from this person and 2 from someone else...

So... i have 2 reinforced wheels and 2 non reinforced wheels... They are going on my 89 toyota supra... which weighs about 800 lbs more than the FD. What are the chances that these 93 wheels are going to crack on me? Should i sell these off and get the reinforced type or am i going to be ok?

Also... if i do keep them... which set should i put in the front or rear?

Overall... how serious is the problem with the 93 wheels...

If memory serves, the 89 supra was RWD, if that's the case put the reinforced in the rears and the non in the fronts. It'll cut down on unsprung weight and give you a little better handling in the front (at about 120mph+). If I am bass ackwards in my assumption, then do just the opposite. The rears on a FWD car are just there for the ride pretty much. No real force on them (in comparison to the drive wheels). I think that you should be good with that setup. IF you break the non reinforced wheels, then sorry for my error of judgement.
