are DBS alloys quite common/cheap???

[karatemaserati]

i just saw a full set go for 500 quid. is this the norm? or are there quite a few convincing replicas around

If the set you saw go were the ebay 20 spoke ones, they were reps and not genuine AM...

Im on the look out for a new or mint set of the 20 spoke wheels to pop on my 2012 dbs for a change from the dt later wheels.

Best price ive found is £2700 online parts dealer, or £3200 from AM with discount applied

I guess worth adding, let me know if anyone has a set...

I spoke to the seller. nice chap.
he has a number of Aston alloys available.
the sold set was for the 295 width tyres, so would need 'slimmer' ones on the front.
they were OEM...
the previous set he sold went for £800......thats auctions for you..

No one makes DBS replica wheels. Any that you see are the real thing.

Think this was the set the op was referring to...
The internals of the hub dont look the same as am oem ones??? May be wrong as no expert tho

Rear of the hub looks very different on this for example?

But the same as these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-ASTON-MARTIN-DB...

Which implies the £510 set were real and the £595 single is fake.

Photo above is not the wheel fitted to DBS. Wrong width (10.5 vs 11.0), wrong spoke face profile (flat vs rounded edge), and outer edge of barrel not as pronounced as DBS. Offset is correct at 54 mm.

Date on wheel is July of 06, so I suspect those wheels were prototypes used for Casino Royale and DBS prototypes. Certainly not fitted to production DBS, but look to be genuine wheels, not fake per se.

Agree. I had Aston Martin dealership have a look and they believe NOT Aston Martin. If you look at the pics above the rectangular cut outs near the centres are not the same as this
