V12V wheels

[Simon T]

I want a set of black wheels for my V12V . I would like to keep the standard sizes and tyres. What are the recommendations and has anyone got any?

Depends if your sticking to AM wheels or happy to go aftermarket?

[sukh_m]

Just a thought, cheaper to paint the existing ones?

[Simon T]

AM or aftermarket. don't want to paint originals as will refit them if I ever sell

Apologies as I know it's not answering your question, but I'd still paint them as you can have them repainted to original colour when you resell - it will still be massively cheaper than buying a second set of wheels

Getting back to your actual question, some of the dealers sell sets via ebay occasionally which would give a huge cost saving - I suspect buying a set of the V12V wheels at the standard RRP would be £5k ish and to my knowledge, none of the other OEM wheels will work with the V12V standard tyre size, apart from the new V12VS option (lighter) wheel which of course would cost far more again

Here is a set for sale on ebay

That's what I did. It allowed me to get the colour I wanted and custom offsets.

I've been watching for a set of V12V or DBS wheels to come up but nothing
So I've been looking at forged after market ones so I can get a better offset, wider rears (for the extra power) and save some unsprung weight

Looks nice, congratulations.
Like also the black 6 slat grille and V Collection Carbon splitter
Need some nice N400 sills maybe?

no sorry I don't have any to sell you. I purchased mine for TeaSpn from AMBits and had them painted and fitted at BR

Seen those - overpriced & riddled with wheel worm
I can get a new set of wider lighter forged alloys for not a lot more!
