Nice. You've got the same body color as mine - first time I've seen that.

What's the wheel size?

Thankas.. Those are 20inch, upped from my stock 19
The ride and acceleration are definitely much smoother now

Interesting you found the larger size smoother riding. New tires often make the difference.

I have a thing about the ride quality, and the CGT is the only car I've driven that truly gives a limo ride - very impressive for a sports car. You give me hope for the ride quality in my next model, probably a 2011 which has 20" as standard.

I'd rather see these in size 21 but looks nice as is.

You think that would cross the line and sacrifice ride? As posted I was surprised to see the 20's improving the ride and I agree that it may be the new rubber. We will see how they do when they are 50% gone. I think 20's provide the best compromise of looks and ride, but I am just one guy.

I agree with you, I did not want to risk going any larger than what the factory offers.. and also who wants a Bentley with a rough ride

Oh yeh a Bentley is so conservative. Gotta love the Aston but to me Bentley is a tad more luxurious.

Ps?? what car is that? My bad.

Thanks for the clarification. I looked up the car and it is very nice but the GT is still the finer car IMHO. They are a less expensive correct?

Not a cheap car for sure but not in the class of the Bentley IMHO.
