Sport pack wheels
Discussion
Got mine on eBay from a broken DB9 Le Mans. An expensive refurb later and they're good as new! I got lucky as Mr Hall pointed me at them, they'd been badly listed and were on pg30 of the DB9 stuff!
There has been a set for under a grand which were trashed and a mint set for... Nearly £3k!
It's the only place though, they've a great second hand value as same tyres as standard.

As a guide, I paid £1500 for a set off Ebay just over a year ago with four good tyres and so not that expensive really.
Two wheels needed a refurb, but a couple of specialists (need spinning not just painting) in UK can do this for about £60 a wheel.
Keep your original wheels and flog the sports pack ones when you sell, almost zero depreciation.
One point to bear in mind, standard wheel nuts wont fit and AM want about £400 for titanium ones.
Go to DMS who will sort you out for less than a quarter of this.

They are diamond cut faces so mre tha £60 a wheel to do properly
The stock wheels nuts DO fit I had them on my last Roadster.
IIRC Rick & DMS was doing some good deals.
Other option is to find a decent FORGED after market wheel that fits.

1) Indeed. Paid £450 for a 'cash deal' to get mine done, can;t fault the job though.2) The stock wheels nuts DO fit I had them on my last Roadster.

2) Wheel nuts do fit, pre-2008 wheels only used the titanium wheel nuts. So if your car has a later than 2008 hub, they won't work (I was informed on AMOC)
3) Know you of such a thing? Hard not to chav the car up with aftermarket stuff.

Finding decent forged alloys shouldn't be that hard if I new the width, offset & PCD of the orginal wheels
Standard wheel nuts would not work on my MY07 car, otherwise I would have used them, doh!
Lepsons in Swindon/Gillingham quoting less than £100 per corner.
Why the aggression, just trying to help the original poster?
Glad I've moved onto Mclaren , if this is what AM owners are like now!!

I have just picked my Vantage up from Stratstone Cardiff having had the AM "Sportspack" upgrade completed. I went for the kit as I felt the original suspension was a bit too loose for my taste but I am not a fan of the sportspack wheels so might consider selling them. I will definitely be selling the original wheels.
