You are now the second person whose car I've admired to tell me that they were running H&R springs. I guess that solidifies what I'll be going with. Thanks!

 

My view, I love the wheels AM has designed, this is what you see on the cars, it's comfort food. It looks "right". Aftermarket wheels could be far superior in quality, but I have yet to see a single wheel I would take over any of my factory favorites, the 5 spoke sport pack DT, the 10 spoke sport pack DT with charcoal back, or the original V12 10 spoke with charcoal.

As you yourself were trying to emulate a factory wheel.

 

So far, every car shown that have aftermarket wheels and almost all the factory wheels have thin spokes.

When Aston Marin introduced the N24 model it had Speedline(?) wheels that had wide spokes. It was also the first model that had the carbon fiber side skirt. I was probably the first to install those side skirts on a regular production model(mid 2007).

 

Beefy 5-spokes work for me! I've got a few examples that fall in that category:

Classic 305 (1-piece):






Classic 305 (3-piece):






RS105 (3-piece):






RS105M (1-piece):

 

I am looking into a nice lipped wheel for the V8V, your guys' thoughts on these?

My car is meteorite gray/chancellor red

Would go with the silver wheel/gold bolts

If you want the quality of your wheel to match the quality of your Aston Martin then you should consider the HRE Classic 300's or the 940RL as seen below.

 

IMO-thick 5 or 6 spoke wheels or 3 piece riveted wheels looks good in most racing or track cars. For my taste I want little sporty look but I want the wheels to match the Aston's Elegance.

These were wheels I had for a while - looked fantastic

 

Funny that this thread started recently as I had one of my customers who purchased from me in 2015 reach out to me yesterday to help with his new 911. He shared these AM photos with me which I had never seen before.

20" HRE P101's in Brushed Dark Clear

 

Like your car color combo with those wheels. Looks really nice/ What offset & width did you go with?

Any close up photos of your BC forged wheels?

Thanks

 

Thank you for the kind comment!

HRE 20s are:

Front - 9 inch et42 with a 255
Rear - 11 inch et 52 with a 305

I will need to get some close ups of the BC's - I will try and remember to post some this weekend -
