Got a lot of good suggestions here and I finally went with the 20" Virage wheels, Graphite with Diamond cut.
Also changed to N400 side sills and had the clear tail lights installed. The last pic is how the Vantage looked a week ago.

I really like that look. Like the sport pack 5 spokes but a little more modern. Is that stock fitment or did you add spacers? Any fitment issue/rubbing?

No spacers or anything. I even used 295 tires whereas 285 would be a safer bet.
But many others on this forum and pistonheads have installed 20" AM wheels without any issues.

I've heard of a few holes in the fender liners also


They look like they fill out the arches better, and the rears definitely look like you used spacers. It looks great.


Where did you get the wheels?

I bought them from a private seller based in Switzerland and had them shipped to Hong Kong, so they were second hand, but there wasn't even a scratch on them.
They can be bought new but they will be 1500 USD/piece (Graphite version is twice as expensive as standard silver version).
This Ebay seller has 2 rear wheels in graphite. If you are able to find the front wheels somewhere, you can get yourself a good deal: https://www.ebay.com/itm/CH-Single-2...wAAOSwurZZIZap

Unless I know the seller and can trust the condition I'm not shipping wheels international. The last set of "mint/unused" V12 wheels I bought was the last in a long line of "never believe the seller" lessons.


That's HK? Looked like California LOL

I have the same wheels on my Vantage. I bought them from local guy who had Special edition 2015 DB9. Mine is glossy black which looks good with my car. NO rubbing at all, And i went with 305 in the back . I lowered my car using VAP springs. Your car looks really good with graphite wheels. it glows. Congrats...

305 on 20s? What is the width, 10.5 or 11?

I'd love to go 305 on 20s for the rear, trying to figure out what the absolute widest on 20s I can go on front/rear

I tried to find a wheel that wasn't overboard and very simple. I contacted BCRacing and they were really good to deal with. They helped me with the offset and sent directly to me here in Canada.

Thanks 007JB. You started the thread and the first pic you posted was with these 20” DB9 wheels and I thought: those are great looking wheels! So from there on my search started
