Day 1.
Here's a pic from the day I brought mine home. I certainly have better/newer ones, but I'm at work and I only have a few pics on this machine... Honestly, the ride is pretty harsh. I'd like to drive one with the original 19" on it to see the difference. I also plan on having these darkened at some point. The bright silver is a little too much contrast with a black car for me.

Hi, thanxs for your pic.
How harsh are we talking ? like really harsh ?
Were they a straight bolt on job ? with the OEM nuts ?
What tyre specs do you use 245/35 & 295/30 ?
Have you thought on placing some lowering spring like H&R ?
Do you regret your choice ?
Thanxs

We fitted the OEM wheels from my 2009 DBS on my brothers 2007 V8 Vantage just to check the fit and see how it looked. They look amazing, probably should have been fitted to the car from new! No issues at all using the factory tire sizes.

I have 20's on my 2013 V8 Vantage, ( DB9 wheels) straight bolt on, no issues at all, running 305 in rear & 255 in fronts. Also have Velocity springs which lowered 3/4 inch.
Love the stance & ride is good. Obviously if you have more rubber on 19's it'll be more smoother on bumpy roads.
all corners,

If you are near Las Vegas, come on by and we will bolt up my old DBS wheels so you can see what they look like in person. (I am selling them- now have a 2015 Vanquish, so no need)

The 20" DBS wheels were on the car when I bought it. They look good for the most part, but I just have the sneaking suspicion that I'm feeling every little bump more than I probably would with the original 19's on it. They are a straight-up bolt-on and she's got Michelin Pilot Sport 4S shoes on at 245/35 front and 295/30 rear as you thought.
I'm not going to change them at this point, but I think I would have been perfectly fine with the standard 19" wheels as well. The ride is bound to be a bit better, and the rubber is definitely cheaper with more options from what I can tell.
YMMV. Best of luck with whatever route you choose. Either way you shoe it, they're an awesome ride...

You sold your green one! I thought you'd have that forever.
The black beauty is going in for PPF on the entire front clip and some paint correction here soon. Definitely keeping her in good shape though. I have a feeling that I'll own her until I'm too rickety to get in and out of it.

This is my 2006 Vantage on the 20" winter DBS alloys !! I love them until it comes to cleaning them, they're a nightmare to get in between all the spokes. I've stuck some michelin PS 4S tyres and they're awesome.
