New wheels are on!

I finally got a set of Vantage GT wheels on the car and wanted to share. Wrapped them in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S's and I couldn't be happier (these tires are fantastic).

In my opinion, the wheels, more than any other single feature, are what give a car its character and presence. The 20" HRE's installed by the previous owner were nice but I think they'd fit better on a black Vantage or DB9. I'm very happy with the new look.

Before:


After:


The old wheels are listed in the classified section if anyone is interested.

Classic 5 spoke that helps tie in the bright finished trim at the glass. Definitely an improvement.

Thanks! Now to move on to fixing some of the car's issues... O2 sensors, leather shrinkage, and an oil change are next on the list this month. I just replaced the front brake rotors and pads yesterday, too. Along with a squeaky hub assembly.

It looks perfect. Good catch on the wheels and going up one tire size. Very nice looking car.

I usually love HRE wheels but the GT wheels fit the car a lot better!

Hey! I recognize those wheels!

Glad you are enjoying them!

They just didn't look "right" (to me) on my Alloro Green GT, but they look fantastic on your car!
