Just completed facelift of my DB9 Volante with 21" custon made wheels, black grille, DBS rear diffuser painted in car colour and clear DBS rear light clusters.
Sorry but they are up there with the most revolting wheels I've ever seen. And 21"?? Just why? Did you think, I know, I want my car to handle and ride far worse than standard whilst I look like a drug dealer?The car is a lovely colour though

Hi, sounds like your preference would be last years look with the 10 spoke 20" DBS wheels and stainles steel grille, having had these and the previous original 19" 15 spoke diamond cut wheels, I can advise that the 21" wheels has not effected the handling or ride, just thinking outside the box which I accept will not be to everyone's choice ! The car is a lovely colour though
I have had many very positive reactions !

Now that's more like it! Remember an Aston Martin is all about understated style - it's not a Jaguar for cripes sake! Don't know if those are last year's 20" rims or the out dated 19" ones but they look just right. I have had many very positive reactions !

That looks fantastic. Shame you have ruined it though I have had many very positive reactions !
It's a cosmetic change so not ruined !
I have retained all three sets of wheels and the stainless steel grille, so it's simple to change in less than an hour (grille takes the longest), and when I come to sell, it will appeal to many more potential buyers who can take their pick of the appearance they prefer !
The very positive comments I have received by far exceed the negative one's !
