Very nice, looks like a modern take on the original Sportback wheels

Don't love them. IMO, they're too "sharp" and pointy-looking for a beautifully curvy car.

They are beautiful.

I read all these rumors that Aston is stopping production of the N430 and GT. Yet they just unveiled their 2016 lineup today? .I'm hearing about some "final edition" numbered Vantage. Do they think slapping a new version and higher price of the current Vantage will make people rush out to buy one? They'll sit on the lots, people will wait for the AMG engine. You'd think Aston would want to sell every N430 and GT they can produce till the 2017 is out. Either these rumors are wrong, Aston is stupid, or the AMG engine will be out sooner than expected. Either way some "final edition" of the current car at a premium price will fall flat. IMO

I've got mine in Graphite which might soften the look for you... but I like the design (bias)... It really pops though and is certainly not subtle!

They are standard for MY2016 I believe anyways.

Some of the nicer ones, but not my preference. I still like the old sport pack wheels and the original 7 spokes

They need some inspiration from the well loved sport pack 1 alloys!

Ugly. They look as pimped as the yellow lipstick. Looks of V8V decline with every new MY .. hope there are not many more to come until the new model is out.

Not sure myself and would reserve judgement until I saw them in real life.

Grant - any views on the 'Vantage Final Edition" thread??

Don't like them. Very 'after market' looking.

Plus side……….Easy clean knuckle savers…..smile

Negative side……A bit Carlos Fandango with an after market look…..frown

Verdict……..Would need to see them in the flesh before shelling out if I was in the market….smile

not seem appropriate style they are FERRARI offer nothing new to the car's appearance.

nasty, to my eyes, looks like wheels you find in an alloy wheel shop with hundreds of designs

the previous N430 wheel is far superior

Well it's a good job we don't all like the same thing, isn't it? I think they're fine but still prefer my SP10 lightweights yes
