Anybody got a pic of a Vantage wearing the Zagato wheels?

3500 is indeed a full set. Give him a call to discuss, number is on his ebay ad.
He has them listed with "make an offer" so they can definitely come for less smile

Indeed, hence why I said call to discuss... I think it's a pretty fair price to be honest, but yes, he's a reasonable man, so have a chat.

Those Zagato wheels are not black though! but i do agree the price is not bad.
I'd say all in including colour change, there would be a good deal to be had.

Personally, I like the silver face/black insides. Seeing them in the flesh, I'm confident it's going to give a really nice change, without straying from official product.

I bought a set of new Vantage S wheels, the forged diamond turned ones, from Dave this week. Very easy guy to deal with. Best to give him a call and discuss.

Oh they're going on a V8VS I just bought but more of that later smile

I see zero point in spending a huge amount of money on wheels just to paint them gloss black. Just paint the standard ones and ruin those instead.

(Not a fan of black wheels. At all)

Are the roof and taillight infill really decals or are they actually painted gloss black? If it's only the former, I would suggest getting it done anywhere else that does vinyl wraps. It really would look way better if they are painted, though.
Yes, fully painted at the factory and the join is seamless and appears at least to be under the layer of lacquer. Given I have the option to do so I think its probably worth paying the extra for this level of finish.

Hehe, I must admit I am struggling with the concept of after market painting something and would much rather they were black from the factory, and thus under warranty too. Now now 100% sure on gloss either, was thinking it will match better with the roof and other decals, but maybe satin black is best being more sinister and less bling. Black for sure though with my external colour scheme, just don't think diamond turned, silver or graphite would work.

So a bit undecided now between all 3 types of wheel (inc the Zags) and in either satin or gloss, so knowing prices will help determine the choice as I'm already at the top end of where I wanted to cap my budget.

The std wheels in liquid silver (as below) are free. These would be the base cost with say £600 for refinishing in one of the blacks with matching centre caps. Waiting to hear if Q will do it for similar money!

Nick, I know you subscribe to the adage "once you go black, there is no turning back", but... wink

I agree completely. Why get a wheel with a design you like, then hide the design by painting it in chavvy black?

I'm thinking of going for a set of these Zagato wheels.

What do you think I could get for my black V12S wheels?
As new, no repairs from a low miler 2015.

I suppose I can stick them on ebay with no reserve and find out but I'd rather just price them properly and list here on PH classifieds.

You have used the word free, on a few occassions now Adam.
Might there be any connection with the phrase Man Maths?

smile - If they really are free, presumably I would need to pay something for delivery. I only want four.

I'd expect you could pretty much look at covering the cost of a swap.

Well, that all moved pretty fast and my wheels are now sold and my Zagatos will be fitted next week smile

and yes, I "Pretty much" did.
