Nice thought Felippe.

However, I am only just allowed out of the dog house after "investing" £2k in a set of SP wheels. She didn't totally buy the "I'll make it back come resale" rationale.

However, it is my b'day on 22/12, so could ask for 2 wheels for each occasion biggrin

June is too early for me,mid July in Europe with a few days in the UK and then a few days in Germany with the french enthusiasts for an high speed run over 4 days in October.

They are indeed DB7 GT wheels yes

Will they fit a Vantage... I'm going to say no, but prepared to be corrected!

They are only 18" wheels on DB7 GTA not 19's so not sure if they'll fit a V8V or do you have a 7 vantage in which case they should pop straight on.

Edit just read you have a DB7 so will go on. Looking closely at the picture i'm sure the bottom right wheel says 225 45 18 which is definitely front DB7 GTA although it is late and I've had a few glasses of vino. smile

Would comfirme my idea as I never seen those fitted to Gaydon cars as the PCD is not the same as Bloxham one.

Got a relpy from Rob at HWM a it seems AM used the same wheels for the winter package on V8V, so won't fit the DB7 as the wheel bolt pattern are different,the hunt isn't over.

Hmm, who knew!

Never seen a Vantage with those on, pretty damned cool that would look...
