Sorry for the long response I bought the Modulare wheels used - it was missing some lug nuts, but I found these fit - Ford lugs, which I'll replace with less obvious ones when I switch the tires out this spring.

The actual car my wheels came off of is on the Modulare link:

I was looking for my original post where I quoted how much they were but I couldn't find it. I think there around $3400.

can you send me pics? I might be interested

I couldn't agree more! I've been watching eBay and finally a perfect set of these popped up today and I jumped on them immediately. Perfect condition with the original tires.. At a great price! I'll post pictures of them on my DB9 as soon as they arrive. Merry Christmas to me!

I don't want to spoil your Xmas, but...

The Vantage has much wider rear flares and can accommodate the DBS wheels as shown in the above post, but that is not the case with the DB9. The rears will stick out 27.5 mm compared to your existing wheels. You may or may not like the way that looks.

Yes, you're right and it was a big concern of mine. Especially because I could not find any pictures of a (early) DB9 with DBS wheels anywhere. I'd been looking for quite some time then I came across these pictures on pistonheads. The post said the car had no mods and the DBS wheels fit right on with no problem. I think they look good on the DB9 or Vantage, if not so much because of the color of this car. I think on my black car with the clear tail lights it will look a bit more well placed. A bit sportier appearance in general on my car I think.

What do you guys think? Do you think the offset looks appropriate?

Think they look great


Maybe get the geo done to add a little Neg Camber on the back to tuck the wheels in a little perhaps.


And Yes they are the best wheels for an Aston
