Re visiting post I've created few years ago. Finally found wheels that I'm going to go with. Custom made fully forged 20 inch for my V8 Vantage. I like my current Aston OEM DB9 wheels, but I always like the last gen V12 vantage 10 spoke wheels, but wanted to massage some of the spokes to my taste( design) plus wanted to go 20 inch & most importantly wanted forged. Finally found a source that is doing my custom one of wheels for me. It's almost copy of new V12 Vantage wheels with small changes. I think I finally can say I found it.
Specs fronts 9x20 ET 42, rear 11x20 ET52
What you guys think?


Current wheels-OEM aston from DB9 fronts 8.5x20, rears 11x20


New V12 Vantage wheels




Here is my new wheels designed ready to be made.

Is 305/35/20 going to be kind of tall with 265/35/20 up front?

Please post your car with your oem or non oem wheels. Trying to find out which wheels looks best on Vantage.
If it's aftermarket, please include details,-size, offset, brand, finish & etc. I had few different oem wheels on my car, but still tinkering about it. trying to see if there better looking aftermarket wheels looks great on vantage.



20 inch DBS/DB9 wheels, glossy black





V12 Vantage 19 inch wheels





These what it came with car. V spoke 19 inch . originally it was silver , I got it painted black.
Nice wheels, dude. Also, you did right when painted it in black. Black & Red is awesome.

I ordered mine on line. Try Aston Martin Bits... very helpful on my 20" wheels. They are relatively discreet, especially on a dark car...
Search for Stone Guards...mud flaps are for trucks!
