I'm sorry but those are just NOT good looking wheels, expecially on a sleek and flowing body like a DBS.

Chrome and other bright metals DO NOT look good on these cars. Also see; Machined, werks style wheels DO NOT look good either.

Sorry for the ranting but tons of very subtle styling and work goes into the shapes and details of cars. Just cramming your latest Solid Works sketch on there doesn't make it look better or "custom", just bad.

Enjoy

A lot of grumpy old guys on here? I like them.. I would go down a wheel size. I like the lips as they add some aggressiveness to the car.

I also like the design of the wheels. I'd go down one size to 21. I'd also do a sold polish or brushed center and keep the chrome lips.

Personal opinion - those wheels would look good on a Cadillac, not an AM.

A lot of what makes some wheel designs look "ghetto" on an AM (besides extreme diameters and huge lips) is the chrome/polish metal and black finish on wheels. Painted silver or brushed tinted tames down most wheels so they don't look so pimp. ISTR someone posting a set of wheels similar to Duane's but with black and polish and they didn't look anywhere near as nice as his came out.

Oh no.. Not to a DBS. The wheels don't match the car's character or lines

Guess I must be one of the grumpy old guys.....

Wheels are a very personal decision/taste and everyone has an opinion. Mine is (I know you didn't ask but); wheels with huge lips are sooooooo yesterday and these wheels on this car are just plain horrible. I'm sure these wheels are quite expensive but the look really cheap, too large, wrong finishes on the wheels themselves and detract in a major way from the DBS. I could be wrong?

Wheels are very personal but they are also very expensive (to me).
Anything that costs me a substantial amount, I want the most bang for my buck. Wheels without lips look nice but nice is not enough bang for my buck. They look stockish.
Wheels with shiny lips have that pop. They look more custom. More aggressive. Not hugelips on the front but 3-5 inches on the rear makes the car look more sporty and/or exotic.

This particular wheel does look too blingy for this car in this finish and specs. I would tone down the centers, reduce the lip size up front but leave them shiny. It would be way different.
