Agreed, I also think they're a tad too tall for the short-wheelbased car. It doesn;t look bad, and they're a great wheel design, they just look like they don't belong.

I can >just< get away with it on my DB9, but maybe not in everyones eyes. I'm used to them now and I do appreciate the extra rubber on the road!

These are my all time favourite wheels but I wouldn't put them on my Vantage.

IMO 20s only work with the correct lowering, otherwise as Yeti rightly states they add an appearance of height to the car.
For myself I am really bothered by the width of the rear wheels. The front sits nice and snug but those rears stick out like...

No it's not just you, they look like cartoon wheels.

Just what I was thinking.

They look decidedly odd on a Vantage.

Yeah, the protruding rears and height are both odd. Still hope whoevers car it is is happy with the effect, that's an expensive experiment

ooooops, just bought a set of dbs wheels for my vantage. intend to get it lowered and also put the v12 sills on it also. im still happy with my choice even though i havent actually seen them on my vantage. beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that .............:0

Same style as the picture or the later 5-double spoke style?

Either way, they'll look fine - lowering and sorting the sills will help. Make sure you get a good geo done as well

i agree- am putting dbs wheels on my db9 volante- naturally need a lowering job- but this has been the case on every car i've ever owned in my life- wider wheels with lower profile tyres+ lowering springs/coilovers.... no need for a body kit if you sit the car right (stance they call it these days).

In my books, if there is more than a finger width between the top of the tyre and the wheel arch; car is an SUV ;p
