Thanuja - wheels are Savini BM9's in 20x 11 on the back, 20x9 on the front. Still not convinced about the rears and how they look at that width...

Here is a shot of 20 x 10.5 with 285/25/20's on them. I think this is likely what you are after. The 11in wide wheel wasn't able to be done with this forged alum block and the design i demanded. So 10.5 it was. I was also worried due to the DBS wheels being 11in wide and they stick out too far. Even though its like 4mm or so this selection brought me in I think around 6mm from DBS wheels. To me its perfect.

Thanks, REDPANTS Rich is the actual one who came up with that. I was talking him through some options I had for the plate and he said that. Thought it was great, but I have run into some people who thought it was stupid, until I pointed out Aston Martin 007 connection. Then they got it. But, I didnt realize that there were many people who didnt know that connection, but evidently there are some fairly sheltered people still.

The number of people that have told me they don't watch Bond films is staggering!
