Bizarre wheel. The non symmetric spokes are a show stopper for me.

Are you referring to the outer portion of the one spoke that juts inward?

Stock. Or add spacers if you want more aggressive stance. Unless you want a concave look in terms of wheel design for the car the stockers actually look quite nice. And I'm a chronic aftermarket wheel guy!

Yup, that looks very odd.

Well, the reason I want to change to a 5 split spoke wheels is I like more exposure on the CCB's....it's a tough call overall.
I do like the newer DBS 5 split spoke wheels, and I do like the concave look.

depends on the wheel you get, and the finish. I just paid about 7800, including tires(Mich super sports) lug nuts, shipping, mounted balanced etc, I just sent them my sensors they installed them, and sent me the complete wheels, very very happy!!! oh I went through automotive connoisseurs group

I found a mint set of the more recent sport pack 10 spokes on eBay last year with pretty much new stock Bridgestones ... ~2600 IIRC. There are deals out there. If you can be patient, just watch eBay.

You ain't gonna' find any for a DBS, however. Needle in a haystack...

Some split-spoke XL3's would look good too.

Hey D! Those would look better on an AM if they were concave. You offer that?

The late model diamond turned DBS wheels do appear on ebay from time to time. There was set with tires that was offered at $4k a few months ago. I think someone on this forum was thinking about them for his Vantage. You'll need to check ebay routinely and maybe over several months to have a chance.

Here's another good looking alternative from ADV.1. I've been thinking of them for my 360.

This is a real nice alternative as well.....though I think these are north of $7000. I just can't justify spending over $5k for a set of wheels

@ $5k you just eliminated many of the wheels above.... for sure the HREs and new stock DBS wheels.

I have a 2010 DBS Volante in Quantum Silver with the diamond turned wheels. To me, they're one of the best looking wheels I've seen on any car. I think you should focus on finding a set second hand. They tend to show up from tire shops in FL and CA, where the owners have swapped for aftermarket.
