Stratsone Cardiff are doing a V8 kit called One-17. What is interesting are the black power coated standard 7 spoke wheels. Also they do black wing mirror housings (like) and a black grill (OK) + you can have the revised N400 sills (don't like). You can have any bit separately having already had a chat with them. Question is what do people think to the black wheels? The alternative is to do a gloss smoked finish like the new Nissan GTR wheels? My car is in Tungsten as per the car in the pics below.

Thoughts welcome.

MADT350 obviously you know where I'm going with this.

That's interesting - as I actually like the N400 sills - might have to give them a call and see how much..........
Any Aston dealer should be able to supply. I now HWM can.

i have just bought some original anthracite 7 spoke versions (my car is Tungsten silver also) and getting them fitted on my car tomorrow, i just fancied a change as every vantage has silver alloys, i do like to be a little different smile. it does make the vantage look more aggressive which i quite like....if black is not a option then a anthracite could be?
