I need some info on Rims

I am starting to mod my 08 Vantage V8, and I was wondering about the different rims that people have installed on their Vantages.

I'd like to go wider, but still stay in a size that offeres a selection of performance tires. I also am considering a larger rim, but I want one that will fit without scraping, and one that fills the wheel wells nicely.

Oner the long haul, I'd like to put Brembos up front, and lower the car just a bit.

I'm also not clear on what kind of offset replacement rims would need. I see allot of options there so any real world experience you can throw my way would be great.

Before I bought the V12, I was going to upgrade my rims. If I had a V8, I would get 9x9 and 9x11 like the V12. I would look at HRE, Vorsteiner and D2 . They all have great wheels and will look great. I would avoid 20's because of the ride and profile for parking and turning. I also don'y always like the wat 20's look on the car. Some are cool but it's not as sure a thing as the 19's. i have a new set coming for the V12 which you will see on the forum mid September.
