That is a McGard Locking nut, have just ordered a set of these to replace the current hideous looking ones.

Some better pics. I think it is a nice improvement.

I agree with you. It looks fantastic, I prefer the meatier tire look as well.. Way more "racey". I wonder how this set up would work/look on an early DB9? I just got another set of wheels and have been kicking around the idea of a different set of PSS for them rather than switching over from my oem wheels. I feel like my DB9 has a bit too much room in the wheel opening so this set up might fill it out nicely. Plus a little more ground clearance for the nose is not a bad thing. Any thoughts?

Thanks speedracer, I used this site to work out the change between setups. http://www.willtheyfit.com

Just had the new rear wheels fitted yesterday so a slightly different look.

I still think its needs lowing slightly, especially at the rear.

I think it looks great and wouldn't lower it. It's nice having that little extra ground clearance IMO. Especially here in the pothole capital of the world (Chicago).

Thanks for the information.. I'll definitely check out that site.

How about going a little further, 265/40/19 (27.3") and 305/35/19 (27.4") ?

I'm looking to get custom wheels made (for DB9) and would love to go to that size if possible.
