Anyhow, I would advise that you strongly reconsider your choices to something of higher quality and craftsmanship than something like Konig Wheels or the others you originally posted. Unless you are some type of NFL player or Rap star that doesn't understand that the hand craftsmanship of Aston Martin should be matched with a high quality manufacture like HRE and a few other wheel brands.

I also have a vendor locally in SoCal who is great to work with and can provide options with high quality brands as HRE, ADV1, etc. PM me for their info.

Good luck with your wheel choice, cause I believe that it will "make" or "break" the image of your car, especially when the V8VS is beautiful right out of the box.

I only claim to be an expert at having my own, rather boisterous opinions. But if you you'd really like to chat about things wheels/Aston/car design, I'd love to. I'll PM you.

The trick with aftermarket wheels is to find those that don't look "aftermarket". I know this is difficult because there are so many examples of failure and so few that look great. The wheels on my '08 were a huge part of my selection criteria. They are a factory option, just metalic gray powdercoat on the factory wheels. But that gray just seals the deal. The car still looks clean and refined while the subtle wheels let the red callipers pop without drawing too much attention to the rims.

On a black car, you have a few options:
All black, "murdered out" as the kidz say, either gloss or satin. If your brakes are red, this could look cool but it's a bit goofy in my opinion.

Satin finish on gray. Like the wheels in the pic I pasted in, that gray will keep the wheels from overwhelming the look while still providing some brightness and visual interest.

Satin finish on alloy (raw alluminum color). Here you can get away with a slimmer visual mass, like slim multi spoke or slim, minimal mesh. Too slim and you run into the weirdness of too-hollow wheels. Some people like this look, I find it unappealing. You just see too much undercarriage, too much wheel well.

My personal taste is to avoid, in most cases, any wheel with multiple finishes (e.g. black paint and machined alloy). There are exceptions like the wheels on my '11 GTI. I think these work because the machined area is so large that it provides enough mass to support the car (the black is meant to fall away and be invisible so that the tire looks like it's only supported by the visible, machined shape).

But those ^^^ wheels would look HORRIBLE on an Aston (I'm pretty confident you already knew that).

So if you are looking at a wheel with exposed alloy and black paint, imagine that the black paint is invisible. Does the alloy mass look substantial enough to visually support the car?

Hope this hell
