New wheels on my DBS

I've always liked the Virage / DB9(.2) multi spoke diamond cut wheels best. I was a bit unsure about how they would look as I wasn't able to find any photos of these wheels on a DBS but I'm thrilled with the results. I think it gives the DBS a bit of an updated and more modern look. What do you guys think?

Wow, those truly update the car. Nice choice!

I am still curious about your nickel plating effort. Hope that is coming along.

I love those wheels. I'd love to see a set on a V8V.

Thank you!

Did you see the pictures I posted of the finished pieces? I have not yet installed everything but I have the parts done.

I did see those photos you posted. I am looking forward to seeing them all in the car. It might prompt me to do something similar to my Vantage.

Now lower it with the springs from VAP. It will make your car look so much better. I have not had even close to an issue with scraping. My driveway is sloped coming off a downward sloped road too, can give measurements, but it would surprise you that it clears fine.

I am watchful for high speed bumps, and extreme angle entrances to stores, but not run into them yet. I am sure I will, but its so rare why not make the car look better all the time.


The VAP springs ride better than OEM, and I personally am very happy with the change.

Lowering will make it look more sinister but takes away the perfect symmetry of the tire reveal in the arch. Look how perfect the reveal is on that DBS [or my V8V], and it definitely looks sinister enough without doing anything to it

Very cool wheels, they look like they are a ***** to clean like my Vantage GT wheels. But worth it for the two blocks they are clean,
