this is for your new S, yes?
I'm sorry but this Art Center grad has to say eeeewwww to all of those.
As I recall, your car is black, if so, a satin gray or alloy will look great. No bright, gloss, shiny with the possible exception of the lug nuts.
Also, avoid machined surfaces and or rivets. Those may look fine on a Camaro or a slammed '98 Civic, but they are too "werks" or tuner for a refined sex-show like a Vantage.
Ok, did my homework: Why god Why would you even want to change those wheels that are already on there?
And If you must, do this:

( do u mind an actual voice conversation?)
My reasoning is that i like the black/ silver look vs all silver like my wheels.

Ah crap, now I sound like a snob. The Art Center reference was actually meant to be self depricating.
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).
http://www.seriouswheels.com/pics-20...-1920x1440.jpg
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

Forgestar F14 would be a nice transition from the factory design (a very nice design at that)
If you like the look of the wheels in your first post, maybe go with a quality 2 or 3 piece wheel like something here;

Just some ideas to throw around!

As others mentioned above, I do not believe cast is the way to go on your car. Match the quality of car to the wheel...you do not want to run into issues in the future.
Sent you a PM as well.

ooh, I love seeing pictures of my car. But yes, they are 20" HRE P40SC in a Brushed Tinted Finish.
+1
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.

Whatever you choose, make sure it has no bolts (esp fake bolts). And no stupid chrome lip (another passing fad unless you drive as above).

. i was more interested in input regarding color and design, not who makes it. regardless- i don't think more expensive is always more beautiful or even better. either way feel free to pm me the local vendor please
