Wheels needed V12v S styleeee
Discussion
There will be a few of us selling essentially unused sets of gloss black lightweight V12VS wheels, including matching centre caps, early next year as when you spec AMR wheels with the AMR cars, they come only as an extra set
I get the impression some are p/xing back to their dealers, some will keep both sets and others will be private selling.
The gloss black has not been an option before on the lightweights, but it is standard finish on the AMR cars

Has anybody ever had a definitive answer regarding the full/RRP of a set of regular and lightweight V12V wheels ?
It's made a little more difficult because when you buy a new car, they will charge you £1k to have the standard wheels in a different colour to the base spec that accompanies that particular model, but I'm guessing if you are buying the wheels through a dealer/Parts, after and separate to a new car purchase, the standard wheels are the same price regardless of colour ?
Also, it's an expensive option to upgrade to lightweights when speccing your V12VS (IIRC, c £3k ?) but I doubt the lightweights cost £3k more than the regular wheels when each are bought as a standalone set ?
I've got in my head that the standard full price for a set of regular V12V wheels is very approx £3-4k and the lightweights perhaps £1.5-2k more but I'm really not sure
Someone advised me to have a look at astonparts/bits as they list the full retail price of the used/discounted parts they sell, but there is a lack of consistency in what they say the RRP is from one listing to another

When I had my V12V 6 speed I was interested in buying a set to change the look of the car, but also have a winter tyre set, so I asked my local dealer for a quote and the price was £5,500. They also said that they were not recommended for the 6 speed as they had only been tested and approved for the S. I was at the factory yesterday and was surprised at how many V12V were being made with most of them on the older (but very nice) diamond turned wheels.

I can see why they would have to say they aren't recommended, but really can't see how it's an issue in the real world (although before I get sued, I'm not advising anyone !!!!!!)
The standard V12V wheels are still very nice plus arguably somewhat iconic as they were on the RS concept and then all pre S V12V, then the standard fit on all V12VS other than AMR, so fully understand why so many don't upgrade to lighweights
I am fairly sure that the upgrade option cost for lightweights, when buying a new V12V, is at least £3k (more for some finishes) but I can't imagine a set of regular V12V wheels is as little as £2.5k (5.5k less 3k) - presumably it's at least 3-3.5k
Interesting to compare to AMR wheels, which cost £6k (they aren't available as a factory fit option) so actually, a little more than the lightweights
mine is on the line at the moment - was there too yesterday.
Standard liquid silver wheels, because AMR ones going on at the dealer. I'm sure a few others will be the same towards the end of the line.
Black lightweights are £3750 option, so figured £6000 for the AMR, but with a spare set to use or sell was the best route.

Off for paint again soon, talking of paint, have you done the window surrounds yet mate?Last summer someone bought a brand new V12VS from AM works and did not like the Black Satin Lightweight wheels.
AM works advertised them on Ebay and I bought them for £2K (including delivery and matching centre caps)
AM Wilmslow told me that the list price was circa £1,700 for each wheel.
They very rarely come up for sale

if anyone is selling these let me know 
You're probably best waiting until Jan/Feb next year. A number of AMR buyers have pre-arranged p/x deals with their dealers whereby they take the lightweights into stock so they will be available to buy then. The other buyers of V12 AMR Vantages with AMR wheels on order will either be selling privately, or holding on to both setsGassing Station | Aston Martin | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
