Sorry OP I am with bomberh, and my reason is that all the beautiful engineered details are often invisible, particularly in photographs.
The Aston Martin photograph which you have reproduced, would have involved studio lighting.

Same for me. Plus, I would not want to have to clean those things. So many nooks and crannies to get into...

Re cleaning these wheels. Gentlemen, you are missing the point here. I have no doubt that Mr Doom has a man to clean his many, many wheels and ease of washing is not the issue.

To be fair I do enjoy a good wheel cleaning ( perverse I know ) but yes washing is not the issue but I do like those wheels .

I love those wheels, took a very similar picture myself when at Gaydon last

Not sure how well they'd suit a non-race car

I think they're fabulous and look great on the AMR Pro car. I think they'd be equally at home on a Vantage S.

I think they look fantastic on an AMR car and if I didn't already have a full set of Zagato's on mine, these would have been my new top choice smile

Not a huge fan. Sorry OP. They look too complicated. I like the colour of them though. I have the DB9 sports pack wheels - maybe I should get them painted.

Better pics of them on the AMR Rapide and the centre lock version on the AMR Pro Vantage

Will admit they look better from a distance, but still a bit busy for my taste.

But different strokes for different folks is what makes the world go round.

Really like those and I'd definitely have a set if they were available and if i ever get the flamin' car! They look like a matt finish in those photos but it would be good to see them in a satin or gloss finish.

They would be far too difficult to keep clean and brake dust would be very difficult to clean off unless you removed the wheels to do so.
Satin black is the easiest way to disguise it though and that's probably why they are that colour.
Being that busy though and they would show the dirt every time you did over 20 miles so not a choice I would make.

Wheel criteria. If you can't give it a good clean in less than 1 minute, it's a no from me.

I like these though !!
