Yup. Have never seen or even heard of these wheels being factory polished. Would've said that's probably BS, but there it is on the box.

Yes they will, but why??? Polished will be a pain to keep clean unless they have a clear coat over the finish.

Check out BCForged, they are located in Orlando area, but for that kind of money, you can or could choose what you want from them. RedPants can set you up with what you need also. I wouldn't pay 4k for factory wheels ever. Just IMO the forged aftermarket are much better. Hope this helps a bit. Here is a pic of my DB9 with BC Forged wheels.

They'll definitely fit.

I'm not a fan of the polished finish, but that's subjective.

I am impressed with how light these wheels are for their size. I have stock Enkei 18's on another car and had become accommodated to the weight of that size wheel. When I first took a wheel off the Aston, I had to recalibrate my brain because it was so much lighter than I expected.

I really like the style of these wheels, the only down side is that the opening between the split spokes can be hard to reach into for cleaning.

Thanks guys! Nice looking indeed. Where did you get the rear spoiler?

On Ebay the same seller is selling a DB9 with a silver set installed.. Looks nice. I agree with all here that I personally wouldn't spend $4k on OEM wheels, BUT there are buyers who like OEM and it may be an asset come resale time for the car... I have to assume if those are legit 'polished' OEM wheels... they would have a clear coat on them. In which case they'd be fine... and on the right color DB9 would look very good.

The DB9 he is selling looks nice too, maybe I should make him a package offer on both! :P

The factory polished wheels should be clear coated as well, no? If not, I would clear coat them.

I would always go for an OEM wheel over aftermarket. Not a fan of visible aftermarket parts.

Yes, the sportspack wheels are factory clear coated. I'm not really liking the Virage wheels...also, they are not staggered like the original wheels on my car.

Are you sure they are not staggered? They are OEM and should be... Do you mean with or diameter?

I am pretty sure the Virage wheels are staggered sized.

But Question---- Do the Virage wheels fit?????? I thought I remember someone posting they dont. But I might be confusing the Vanquish a bit here. But I would make sure before purchasing.

Also----Sppedracer800 always has a set of wheels on hand for a DB9 that he will sell. Might be a listing now for them. Check with him though first.

I never knew these existed in polished, but I would greatly prefer the diamond turned. The way they catch and reflect light is magical.


And fully agree at how light they are, which means, they do get bent on potholes. I had to replace it after they screwed up the fix.
