Could anyone shed any light on the sort of torque genuine Bentley wheels can withstand? The reason for my question is I have seen quite a few nice looking designs and have been told that the majority of 20 inch wheels from a Bentley will fit the car. I have seen some very nice wheels but I plan to take the car to AMD and get it re-mapped once the Tarox discs have been fitted all round and up the torque to near 1000 Nm any informed replies would be most helpful.

It'll be fine. Whatever grunt your engine can dole out, the brakes can probably manage more.

Thanks I think the clearance should be OK as the V10 has 8 pot callipers are quite big but so are the Bentley plus they seem to be made for heavy axle loading it's more the torque resistance I was concerned about. There are some nice designs too.
