Non OEM alloys

[divetheworld]

So has anyone on here fitted alloys from aftermarket supply?
Any pics?

[goorwich]

You are a brave man to ask this .

[KarlFranz]

Newb or forum rookie perhaps?

[Little Donkey]

Oh no 'ere we go again!

[Jockman]

Just bought a bag of popcorn, case of desperados and am just settling down on the settee.

Ready when you are

[Slarti]

Yes. I'm running a set of Kahn alloys on my V12V. It was the only thing standing between the lacklustre sports coupe that I purchased with the original wheels and the lean, mean driving machine that it is today. Frankly the original Aston alloys lack any aesthetic appeal and are a rip off to boot.

[Wobbly]

There you go aftermarket wheels !!!

[Little Donkey]

That's bordering vandalism!

What,what ....KHAN, BLACK .
Sorry can't take much more of this, will have to have a sedative and lay down.

Only 2 gins & no vino tinto, I think standard AM is best unless you are a chav with little to no taste.

After the event I canvassed a few mates & they unanimously agreed.

Would still like some nice 20" tho. Standard sit too far inside the arches for me.

Bought a set of Kahn's for the Vanquish and decided in an hour they weren't as good as original so took them back off and sold 'em. In the case of AM original is best I think.

Burn 'im.

I can see my car being brought up in this conversation.

It is at the Aston garage being pampered,played with,bits replaced and things changed.

Once I get it back,which is hopefully tomorrow,I will post before and after pictures so you can make your own mind up concerning 20 inch OEM alloys and aftermarket options.

Nice wheels. I'd like some with red pin stripes to match my stitching.

Literally LOL'd at that one.

[divetheworld]

I notice that there isn't much diversity. Kahn or OEM.
Is that because of the unusual offset or those were the ones you wanted?

[Stonic]

Not sure why offset is seen as an issue. Can always take what a manufacturer has plus a spacer (and different type of spacer depending on width) to make up difference. Have been running a 993 with 20mm spacers on rear for 14 years and no problems. Could get some really nice lightweight OZ wheels on that basis. But I Le my AM sport pack one best

You obviously haven't visited the 6speed forums if you think there's no diversity.
