Hi all, I just purchased an '07 v8 Vantage, build thread coming soon with pictures, but one of the first things I want to do is wheels. I went back and forth and considered a lot of options, but I've decided I want the Speedline Corse wheels that came on the N24 V8 Vantage
(My car is almond green, very similar to the DBR9 Racing green on the above car).
But on the Speedline website, the only wheel that looks similar is the Speedline Challenge 2110 wheel:
Although to me I think this wheels is slightly different -- the spokes seem to get a little narrower towards the edge than on the N24 wheel. I sent an email to Speedline but haven't heard back yet. Anyone know where these wheels can be purchased?
+1 why wouldn't you go with a modern street wheel. There is a great deal on a set in classified section that would look great on an almond green car. $1600 with sticky tires only 2500 miles on them.

With tires included that's a steal, fantastic price, can't argue and I wonder why they haven't sold yet. But I'm slightly prejudiced against black wheels. Sometimes I'm tempted but most of the time, no matter how great the design, visually it's indistinguishable from this:
I'm exaggerating, I may eat crow and go for black wheels, but black hides the shape of things.
I really do like the functional, motorsport look of the speedline N24 wheels. If they are hard to find and really expensive I'll have to reevaluate, but I just can't find any info at all on them.
The N24 Speedline Corse are quite rare. They were special order by AML and tend to be used by the race teams. You need to search out any still running the car and see if they have any left. They were only used for a year or two, 2006 and 2007 I believe. Speedline Corse 10" X 18" ET45mm cast magnesium front wheels 5 x 114.3 PCD & Speedline Corse 11" X 18" ET48mm cast magnesium rear wheels 5 x 114.3 PCD I got a set sent over from the UK, none to be found in the USA.
Thank you!! I love the look of your car, I saw it in the wheel thread and seeing them on a road car inspired me to go after these wheels. The wheels are simple and racy, and don't distract from the lines of the car. Seeing your black wheels makes me rethink whether black is a good idea, it looks great on your car.
But if they're that rare, I might have to rethink whether this is worth it. I wouldn't even know where to start, aside from contacting Prodrive themselves. But thank you very much, I guess now I know why it is so hard to find info on them.
