More Jaguar than Aston Martin...IMHO!

I like them, they look a little more "street" than standard.

Have you got any shots of the car overall at a distance? Be nice to see how it looks.

Just add vinyl wrap

(I actually like the wheels but wider shot would be good)

Picked up some wheels for a good price and fitted them. What do you think? Does the fit look right?

Do you like them? That is the most important thing. They look fine to me. Side on shot would be helpful.

Strange topic to delete.

I didn't like them anyway

They fit the arches well with a good stance although they seem to make the sidewalls look quite big but it might be the Camera angle , I keep imagining a set of BBB RS style on mine similar to the 80s Vantage , I am a sucker for a shiny rim lol

Tis weird, it was on-topic, responses were positive and polite ( Until Bomber holed that one below the waterline )

Back to the wheels, they sit ok and fill the arches, but they are black and the wrong design for the car IMHO.

[roocarl]

Not a huge fan of black wheels and these do look a lil bit boy racer to my taste but it's your car if you like them then that is all that matters !

Our American friend is usually oh so sensible Maybe someone hacked his PH account & posted up photos of wheels they thought he wouldn't like

[AndyBrew]

the plot thickens!

[DB9VolanteDriver]

Nothing sinister at all. A 'none too bright' accidental delete rather than the planned edit. And since the photos are still in the thread, not much point in re-posting. But I will add a full side on view when I can take a shot or several.

Would have been fine.

Apart from the edit...

[Jon39]

These might be the same wheels.

[AdamV12V]

you could always edit the edit and reinstate the original pics to dampen the conspiracy theories!

To be honest being a predominantly British forum you are never going to get a lot of posters loving aftermarket wheels on any car - its just not the done thing over here. Personally I think they look OK, but even I would prefer to see OEM kit on an Aston even if it wasn't the original OEM wheels for your model year/car at the time of production.

All that said, if you like them, that's all that matters! (George will never approve, regardless so... )

Those are OZ Racing wheels; see Wildbob's posts re: his DB9 mods for track use. My wheels are HRE.
