They look like crap. The style of the wheel does not integrate with the style of the car in any way. The comically low profile tyres scream "inadequate". The spokes are spindly and fussy. The screw/rivet/whatever things around the rim are distracting and have no place on a flowing form like a DBS. The styling queues of those wheels are confused as hell. Rivets/bolts suggest works level racing hardware, the surface development and finish suggest show and styling. Which is is? The sheen and finish of the metal does not match the finish or surfacing quality of any part of the rest of the car, but is too close to feel like an intentional departure.

I'm sure the slam'd stance BS sells wheels. Well done. But these are not an improvement on the car and the lowering just amplifies the problem (exaggerated or not).
Thank you very much for opinion and yes you are correct we want every ones opinion. In most cases when we are setting up our customers cars the intent is to have contrast sometimes its gets a little extreme, but sometime it is what the customer wanted.

Why does the swept area of the rotor look so narrow? It looks like a lot of the rotor surface area is wasted.

despite mixed reaction or opinion, the wheels and the workmanship are fantastic from what i can tell...im sure if they were available in CT South Africa i would augment my toy chest and just bolt them on periodically to give the car a different personality from time to time.

after all they are made to fit the car and do not allow body rub and affect say speedo calibration and rolling distance and other complex stuff..

Lets not knock brunettes just because we love blondes and visa versa, u guys that do not live in this ****e hole called South Africa have no idea how spoilt for choice you are.

lets not discourage bespoke design houses from building after market kit, after all the clutch thing and having Bamford Rose or Stuart's goods are hallmarks of dedication from aftermarket engineers.
