Post a pic Steve please.

I've had my eye on these 2 different ones for some time wink Not sure about Matt Black tho' as it would lose all the detail



Your correct and black rims are getting tired.

I've never had a set of black wheels on any car. Can't see the point.

If changing the wheels saves you changing the car, then you’re not wasting money, you’re being very thrifty. #manmaths

Question: What do you do with the old wheels? Have you found a good place to sell them?

Some lovely looking cars there. Hope you tell your insurers when you change the wheels - hate to see anyone not getting their payout in the event of a claim.

Finally got around to fitting a set of your old wheels Mark - not too flashy but I think they look nice smile
I've got a set of '07 19" wheels with very nearly new Michelin PS4S tyres fitted if anyone's interested.

That looks terrific. I take it it's lowered too?
I've often shied away from that kind of wheel design but love the look your motor.

Ok so the 20" Virage wheels are on wink Really suit the car and the design brings a new dimension to the vantage outline.

Shame these are Silver and not black, because with all the carbon I have and the black window trims I think they look a little out of place. So if I was to put a set on permanently I would hunt out a black set.

They have done a grand total of about 2 miles and will be going up for sale shortly........ hey ho... worth a punt to see what they look like.
