Not very pretty.
Rather ghetto.

They look spindly and thin. The low pro tyres further enhance this. So the body of the car seems unsupported and holllow.

Seeing the brakes is cool when it's a peek-a-boo view and when it's through a spinning wheel. With so much open air, it just looks too mechanical.

My opinions only. YMMV

Yeah, the visual weight is kind of gone when they paint the other side of it black. I still like them though.

AAAAAAANnnnnndddd
Now that I've seen 007's new wheels and the all alloy look, I DO like these wheels (without the black).

Amazing how some black paint (powder?) can ruin a perfectly good looking set of wheels.

Glad you like the wheel design and its potential! I myself don't like the gloss black on the wheel either.

20's don't look right on the vantage seems really thick on such a short stalky car... I dunno what would work best on DB series. Do you have any pics of this style wheel (19s or 20s whichever you have w proper offset and tire sizes) on a DB series car (DB9/DBS)?

^^^ That link is for the wheels on a Aston Martin Vantage. I wanted to see them on an Aston Martin DB Series car, meaning a DB9 or DBS. I already know how they look on a Vantage. thanks
