Might sound like a bit of a **** here, but I actually think that the stock wheels on the Vantage look incredible, but if you dont like the look, be sure to check into either painting them, or powder coating them. I know that the BBS wheels that come on the Subaru Impreza WRX STi do not take to kindly to the powder coating process due to the fact that the baking step will actually weaken the wheel. I do not know the specifics of the AM wheels, but it is something to think about. You can change the color of the wheels for a reletively cheap price by painting them, and change the look and attitude of the car.

 

HRE 790R

 

Yeah, but I am afraid BBS offers no style that comes close to AMs original style, that's why I will probably go for the HRE M43 brushed. They are of the same sort of style as the OEM sportspack wheels, but still look quite different though (5 strong spokes vs 9 strong spokes)

 

Here are a few more examples...

DB9 on HRE 841R

imo, astons are already gorgeous, it doesn't need jewelry to make itself look good. this rule can be applied to many other cars that are beautiful, not just astons.

i like my oem wheels.

 

Good God, thank you! Wait...maybe not, I think this might be the ticket:

 

Beautiful car BTW! Don't see too many manual DB9s

 

Are those exclusively DB9 wheels? Those look great! I would want to have those on a Vantage

Lawin, do you have anymore pics?

 

i think the new vantage sport packs come with these wheels now as well.

here is a pic off aston's site.



here is a gallery of pics of my db9.

I do love the sport pack rims as well. Just wish they made them a little different... the BMW M6 has been rocking those for quite a few years.

 

Nice smoke, nice smoke indeed.

I thought that those looked familiar. I am a big, big fan of those wheels.

 

true, the m6 has similar wheels. however, the m6 is ugly as sin even with nice wheels

 

Haha, very true! Lawin, thanks for sharing your gallery! I want those wheels now! No question about it...

 

Don't the OEM wheels, like most, weigh a lot? and the Vantage needs to lose as much weight as it can. Don't know about the sport pack wheels but the standard 19's seem to be your standard, relatively heavy, cast wheel.
