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.

I think these are the most beautiful standard model alloys AM produced. Ever. And the profile really suits silver... sorry!

How is ride compromised on such low profile rubber? Any rubbing on the wheel arches, etc.?

The Virage wheel design is very similar to another wheel, which was used on Sportpack Vantages.

I think these silver wheels look great Mark. thumbup
Personally I wouldn't swap for black.

Indeed Jon - close, but there’s still an extra level of elegance to the Virage ones.

Still don’t think it’s do any favours to a Sports suspension setup on a V8S, sadly...

Think my car is the same colour as yours too.
I wonder how they would look on a standard height car.

Im running then Bilstien Sports Pack setup on my car with the AP Springs and the ride on 20s is very good with a lot more grip than standard to be fair.

Mark, I know you had some of these but contemplating how they would look in black, thought I’d add a picture to the chain. I absolutely love the look of the car now and your advice influenced the purchase, for that I’m grateful.
