Why the hell would anyone fit wheels that size to that car?

It looks utterly ridiculous, must way more than standard and make the ride absolutely unbearable

oh dear....maybe its a show car from the new Need for Speed movie? ...its not like a road useable vehicle is it? ...you know in the real world with speed bumps and multi storey car parks

Must weigh way more

Saying that, the wheels on the N430 (even though they're the same size as standard ones) like tiny in that pic from Geneva. Must be the colour of the rim as well, but the arch looks cavernous.

Re Ian's V12 photo from the Geneva Motorshow you'll find more details at www.zgarage.ch/fahrzeuge.html
It reads "ASTON MARTIN V12 Vantage 5.9 (Coupé)with 10.5x22Zoll AstonMartin VOSSEN Wheels". IMO just a show car, not roadworthy....

I agree the V12 show car with 22's is a bit extreme. However, I would really like to see the N420 a bit more GT4 like in terms of wheel offset filling the arches a bit more. Plus slightly lower suspension. Maybe even adjustable height for town driving and lower for open roads. Come on Aston Martin, you know you can do it rather that lots of cosmetic face lifts.

Cars look right with about 35-40 profile tyres, 30 can sometimes work but not often, - 25s look horrendous on anything.

That V12V with those ridiculous wheel looks awful. 'Pimptastic' may suit some tastes I suppose.

Some lack of tastes may be more accurate.
