considering putting DBS shoes on my vantage...

[stevewushu]

Opinions?

I've seen some nice pics of a vantage with DBS wheels on.
Looks better when the N400 sills are on, and lowered a tad too.

Though i recall someone saying on here that because of the vantage's shorter wheelbase, the 20" wheels may look too large?

this pic looks great imo.
and i have these wheels already, but if i can't sell them I may put them on my vantage instead?

Personnally, I think they look to large, at least in pictures on the Vantage, it needs the wheelsbase of the DBS/DB9 wheelbase to look right. But opinions vary...

Burntout has 20" aftermarket wheels on his car and they look superb so it's more about design that size.

The wheels are also wider so wider tyres fare fitted as well. Griptastic!

Waiting for a reply from BR about the diffuser at the moment!

On this thread Barny11 has pictures with 20s on a Vantage.

To my eyes they look wonderful

Maybe it's the distortion in the photo itself, but to me they look too large, or it's the style of the wheels, or maybe because you are used to seeing this style on the DBS and therefore they don't quite look right on the Vantage.

I asked AM dealer when picking my wheels for the vantage if i could have the DBS 20s and they told me they wouldnt fit and they wouldnt do it.
Having jsut flicked through the pics, I like the look of the 20" on the vanatage and I don't think they look too big at all? Its personal choice as someone has already mentioned.

Agree, it may look better in real life but this style of wheels just looks too big for me. However, the style on Barny11's car look great. Think I saw it at Hever and it looked just right. So that to me says it's more down to the design of wheel rather than size.

Interesting opinions. I don't have tyres on the DBS alloys atm as I did intend to sell them. But do I want to spend the money to put tyres on just to see if I like them on the vantage!?

Yeti- no worries bout the diffuser, you're first in line ;-)
If BR say you need the DBS bumper will you look for that first? I might know a chap who has one.

go with it, i remember a thread a while back, a light blue v8v with these wheels on it looked (imo) fantastic.
