Those are the winter wheels I believe, which (if I'm correct) are fairly rare.

Looks like that one already needs a refurb itself!

It's in for a refurb as I write (as are the others). Having found what I thought were a pair of good, but used rears (one of my existing ones had been refurbed once too often), they both turned out to be fronts! So I'm short one rear.

What makes these "winter" wheels? I'm puzzled by that.

Just the style. Anyway having done a bit of googling I think I am both right and wrong. They were the style used on the Winter Wheels for the V12 Vantage, but it looks like they were also fitted to the N420 V8 Vantage.

Here's an AM brochure with all wheels listed at the time. See pages 7 and 15..

Anyway a quick google for N420 wheels reveals a listing on ebay with 2 for sale. Doesn't say if they are front or rears though.

Hope that helps....

I can confirm those are N420 wheels, I have them on mine albeit in diamond/black.

Anyway, on the actual question: I recently found out a treasure trove of Aston parts, eBay Classifieds Germany:

If you don't speak German, I found out the latest Safari (version 14 onwards) has a neat function that translates the whole page in real time. I am sure there are similar plug-ins available for Firefox and Chrome as well.

They are the ones I bought a couple of weeks ago!

Mmmmm. Where is the translate function in Safari? I can't find it.

In the address bar, you have to click the little icon on the right:



On iPhone/iPad, it's the "Aa" icon on left though, but always in the address bar.

This is what you are looking for, no?
