Searching for V1 Sport Pack Wheels?

[mikey k]

For any one searching for a set of V1 Sport Pack wheels as used on the N400, Vantage and DB9's with the early sport pack

AMB have a brand new set in

Pricey and you will need tyres, valves, TPMS sensors and caps
But if you REALLY want a set

[yeti]

Oof, that is pricey... They are like Hen's teeth now though, best looking wheel of any modern Aston.

I paid about 1500 for mine and sold them to Ben for around the same amount...

God I really, really want a set of those, but with a set of tyres that's going to be at least £4k. No chance, dammit!!

They're the same tyre size as what you've got so you just swap them over and hopefully the TPMS as well. That's what I did

(assuming your Vantage has 19" wheels?)

Just to tempt you further...



Do it. Do it.

They are lovely, but I'm pretty sure my N400 wheels are two-tone? Darker grey in the non-face bits. In the photo they look single toned.

Might just be odd light.

Reminds me, I must get mine refurbished, I've not scraped them for a few months now

[jonby]

they real;ly are a great looking wheel

they had them in service reception at wilmslow last week, on ein all black and one in dark grey - both looked good

Yeti, you're not helping! I seem to remember you being responsible for another member on here getting some clear lights recently....you have to stop this. Mind you, I'm massively in credit with Mrs B post her birthday weekend, and it would just be the wheels (thanks for clarifying).....I really want them, as they completetly transform the look, just seem to bring the car up to date. Oh God, difficult conversation alert!

Yup, but that's just a paint job Mine were from a DB9 Le Mans edition, they were grey and diamond cut, needed a refurb so I had the grey painted a little bit darker just to make them different and hide the brake dust (done the same with my 20" wheels). Since they've gone on Ben's car, they're anthracite all the way through, they look great with his red calipers.

Mark, these are the lightest wheels Aston made for the Vantage... so stopping distances are improved as is handling. These are therefore a matter of safety, her's and yours. So in fact, you would be buying them to keep her safer, they are gift from you to her. Who can argue with that

Mine are silver in the non-face bits. Not from an N400 though, just normal DB9 sportpack wheels (although I'm fairly sure they're the same wheel).

Mmmm.... No locking wheel nuts.... Shame about the colour... But I can soon sort that out

[bogie]

lovely wheels, defo my fave wheels of recent years bar the One-77 style

but the prices of that website ! do they sell much stuff? seems like factory parts go up in value when used and supplied by 3rd parties LOL

check out the battery conditioners...im sure they were £120 when new and now listed at £150 ...im going to keep mine for a while, its doing better than the ISA

[Bincenzo]

Mind you, I could offset the cost by selling my standard 19" wheels.....wonder what I'd get for them?

I will offer you 8 house bricks, that is what I normally get them for

After trying to flog my standard DB9s for 200 quid for a few months, I eventually gave them away and they're on a Lexus Soarer now. Worthless, though someone might want them for 'winter wheels' which have become fashionable now..?

£100 each if you're lucky...


I'm going to make mine lighter by drilling some holes in em

[erics]

they are selling ECU's for 370 quids. That looks like decent value, no?
