Quantum DBS with new wheels

Went to have a look at this today, it's already sold but I was considering the wheels for my Casino Royale DBS (not those exact wheels of course, but some just like them )....what do you reckon guys and girls? Are the new wheels 'better' or not? They certainly show off the ceramics in a big way and in the tin made the car seem more pumped up or maybe that was the colour as well.

The wheels are my least favourite part of the standard car, and I'm not sure they're an improvement.

Are the 5 spoke sports pack wheels 20"? Would they fit?

The std wheels look OK in a darker colour. But not sure that would go with the body colour you're looking at.

Do you mean the DB9 sport pack 5 spokes? And how do you just highlight the one line you want to quote Murph7355? I'm technically challenged I'm afraid

I say buy them and sell me your old ones

Will they fit your V8V m33ufo? The guys I get my cars from think the 'offset' is wrong?

mmm... that is special. The wheels do look very large with all that air between the spokes - but nice. Far better than those shown on the V12 Vantage.

The standard DBS wheel will fit the V8V correctly. The owner of the Aston Approved bodyshop in Cardiff has them fitted to his V8V.

i prefer the standard wheels on the DBS - more classic IMHO - as for the DBS wheels on the Vantage - they look only good if you add the side skirts - yesterday is saw a DB 9 with DBS wheels and rear lights but without the side skirts and all i can to say : it looked like a wanna-be DBS - just so wrong sorry

[m33ufo]

You're right, the N400 skirts do make the install on the V8V.

Thanks for that; I'll have a go and see how it comes out......oh dear, this is what I keep doing; I end up with my comments being included in the text I'm trying to quote. What am I doing wrong?

[Lucozade]

why can't people just leave their cars alone, any Aston is already a work of art!

[XXXAngelXXX]

cause people are individuals

Always do your new text after the very last '[' '/quote' ']' gubbins...

You can use the "preview" button (rather than "submit") to check you have it right.

Sorry for the hijack everyone else.

I actually really like the alloys (sorry Angel ) they are the new official DBS wheels I believe.

Whatever wheels the DBS is a stunning beast can I have one for £90k please????

No offence mate

PS: according to my dealer they are an option on both MY 2010 DBS Coupe and Convertible ......

And you can buy them for £4500.00 plus the exchequer's 15%!
