Considering changing the V12V HRE wheel setup...
4 Attachment(s)
... to HRE's new P1 Monoblock series. :cool:
I swear, HRE is like Apple. Every year they release something newer that makes me want the latest and greatest. I'm seriously considering the P101 on the V12V. https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ine=1377703654 Thoughts? And is anyone in the market for a set of HRE P40SC's? ;) https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ine=1377703654 |
Those new ones do look quite awesome but then so do yours. I call dibs on them if you decide to change. :)

DoubleLow, did you lower your V12V? If so, what springs do you have?

The two are too similar to make a change. Car would look good with either.

Yes, it's lowered on H&R springs for the V8V with custom rear spring perches to account for the weight difference and balance out the height.

How do you like them? How have the changed the handling and ride? Also, how much did they lower the car?

^^^Did you drive your V12V enough with the stock springs to be able to compare to that? I am considering lowering my car but I don't want to give up anything (except height) as compared to the stock V12V setup, which is quite good IMO from a handling and ride perspective.

FWIW, I'd stick the the 40's you've got. I do understand your comment about something new from HRE every year...:D |
Tough call...the P40SC's are really hard to beat. You know I like 'em cause I had to have P40's on mine after seeing yours - and I'm not changing out!

I think there is a substantial difference between the two styles you posted. I debated myself 5 spoke versus 7 spoke from ADV.1 until I now have finally decided on the "old" 5 spoke (the right photo).
I am currently trying to complete the spec and pricing so I can get these ordered from Alex at Tagmotorsports, the ADV.1 dealer. Which design do you guys prefer? I am doing a graphite gray with a machined 'stainless steel" face. |

Here's side profile picture for height reference: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ine=1377790722

You mention custom rear spring perches. Can you tell me more? Who made them and can I get a set? How did you size them (thickness?). The rear of my car could stand to be ~3/8"-1/2" higher.
I believe they kept the measurements and design template on file in the event another Aston owner needed the same, but not sure how applicable they would be among other AM models. If you want, I would give them a call ask for James and reference the V12 Vantage with spring spacers. (858) 633-1017, http://www.acgautomotive.com/ Good luck. |
Thanks. Looks fantastic. Just need to be sure it performs/feels as good to me.

I say change them and sell the current HREs to me lol.
