Such a shame the carbon black spec car is a classic spot on imo, sorry GT Two. i love the original wheels.
I don't think it's really a special edition such as a numbered CSL or Superleggera.Surely I should make it what I want? I nearly bought a v12 S but wanted a manual car.

I too like the wheels that you want, because I prefer the spoke shape.
Are you happy though with dark coloured wheels, on a black car?
Another Marmite issue. -
Just a thought, but my opinion does not matter.I am thinking of changing to the Sport Pack wheels, but they probably only look right on the cars of their era.

Originals a little too 'flourishy' for my taste. Like the more business like look of the S wheels.

I too am undecided on the black perhaps this kind of finish. What is the Sport pack wheel?I too like the wheels that you want, because I prefer the spoke shape.

Here it is. I think they initially appeared on the DB9, and were then available on the first 4.7 Vantages when Sports Pack (harder suspension) was specified.
They ran from Model Year 2009 until I think, the introduction of the MY2012.25 changes.

I like them, do it. I think they are quite light too.Here it is. I think they initially appeared on the DB9, and were then available on the first 4.7 Vantages when Sports Pack (harder suspension) was specified.

The newer V12VS lightweight wheels are also available in the Silver finish if you are undecided on the Black wheel on your Black car

Yeah, but I don't think they look great in plain silver. Too plain! But I also wouldn't go for black wheels on a black car. Not saying it's wrong, I just don't like it. Could you paint the new V12VS wheels graphite or black and diamond turn the face to end up a bit like this:
I think that would look the dogs. That set on AM Bits look like a good price with tyres (albeit tyres you don't like GT Two but you could always sell them on). Finally, I don't think the V8V Sportspack wheels are wide enough for a V12V and also a bit too pretty, if you know what I mean. Looking forward to seeing the finished car when you're all done.

That's exactly what i did - went from all silver to gloss black "insides".I think that would look the dogs.

Very pleased with the result
