You *do* know that this picture is a rendering, right? Wish it were real, because it does look really nice but, alas, it's a fake There is no car with those wheels as pictured because you can't get that amount of concavity on a Vantage.

I guess i should pay more attention to the actual print` LOL. this is what i liked about it but if it is not real then back to the drawing board. maybe i should also wait for my flu to pass and my fever to come down...

^^^^ Sorry to hear you're sick. I spent 5 days in bed after New Years with 102º fever and 2 weeks later, I still don't feel 100%. Flu has been really bad this year. Get well.

Thank you, It actually makes me upset that a manufacturer is advertising a product that doesn't and can't exist. now why would you do that D2?

And even more confusing.. I have exchanged messages with them in which i expressed specific interest in those wheels and they are connecting me to one of their local dealers but no mention of it. now what would you call that ?

Well, to be fair, they can make those wheels for your car so technically they aren't misleading. It's just that the amount of concavity would not be as severe and IMO that is the one thing that makes the car in the picture look so good. I just think you might be disappointed if you ordered a set and didn't get that look once they were installed. Just look at pictures of Astons with concave HRE wheels to get an idea of just how concave (or not) the wheels are—especially the fronts.

Like you said- it was about the exact look and yes i would have been very upset once i got them and realized its not the same

Phew, that's a relief! It did look pretty good and I was worried for a moment that there was a Vantage out there that looked better than my 9

Yes Sunir, but it is like waiting to go on a date with the girls of your dream to only find out she really was just a blowup doll and not the real thing.. A little misleading wouldn't you say?
