Wheel choices for Casino Royale DBS
I've read all the other great threads on this forum on the wheel choices on the Aston, and I want a 5 split spoke wheel. So here are the choices I am narrowing down to, but I'm kind of torn between them. Prices range from $1300 - $5000

Stock:


Donz Forged Ferranti


ACE Convex


Concavo CW-S5


HRE RB1's

Although I prefer it with the darker grey and diamond-turned face option.

Stock is best. If you want, have 'em powder coated to match the Casino Royale gray. If you are bound to change any way, then for split 5s you can't beat the OEM split 5s.

They show up on ebay, but rarely. Astonmartinbits had some recently, but not sure if it was a complete set. Your AM dealer can probably get them for you if cost is no object.

^^^ cost (new) from a dealer is ~$8k + tax...... Can get almost any aftermarket wheel for much less.

Last set I saw was about 6-8 months ago, about $5K IIRC and that included Pirellis with a fair bit of life in them.

Astonmartinbits is showing refurbed rears @ 600gbp ($900-ish usd), and a couple of new rears @ 900gbp. No sign of fronts, but might be worth contacting them.
