Visual comparison on Aston Martin alloys

[tarks63]

Having gone through a number of sets of alloys I thought I would post the last two sets for comparison on non and original OEM alloys
I have finally decided to stick with the DBS one below.



The ones below are non OEM, they are Italian design Projex Aspen alloys.
These one are for sale,minus the tyres.Sorry about the quality on the picture.
They did have a buckle but BJV engineering straightened for £30 as it turned out to be very minor and no sledgehammer required.



I will also be selling the original 15 spoke alloys if anyone wants them as my garage is looking like an Aston Martin breakers yard?

DBS variant wins hands down.

agrees's..DBS...then again i'm biased...

[mikey k]

could do with being Silver for some contrast IMHO

Yep, the DBS wheels look very right on the long wheelbase car

Any chance of a side view like this? …Interested to see where they sit in relation to the wheel arch. Thanks.

As I have stated in another post the rear tyres on these at the moment are 275/30/20 `s which in my view are too narrow with the alloy rim sitting proud.
I have picked up a rear set of Pirelli P Zero`s 295/30/20 which when fitted tomorrow I will post the angle you require.

Thank you for posting. Are they the standard 295 tyres? The offset looks tightish, any signs of contact with rear wheel arch? …DB9s

styling still looks sublime 10 years on. Lovely car. Thanks again.

Yes, standard Pirelli 295/30 ZR20 (rear). Regarding contact with rear wheel arch - no, not at all.

Just swopped over to the 295/30/20 tyres on my DB9 Volante and can say after a severe thrashing with the roof down there was absolutely no rubbing,even with the old set of tyres perched on the back seat smashing me in the head every time I braked !!!!

Have done over 6,000 miles and two sets of tyres in my car with the DBS wheels and 295 section tyres - zero issues, a perfect fit... and the offset looks MUCH better than standard and better then the DBS too

They really fill the arches and make the car look purposeful.
