So are you looking for a split 5-spoke design mainly or the whole flat face, step lip, split 5-spoke combo?
I’d love to see both - the link is to a 3 piece forged wheel with that step lip, split 5 spoke and rivets - i’d ideally like to have hypersilver/silver brushed barrels, spokes/face, and gold rivets if I went 3 piece
If its a 1 piece wheel then somehow a split 5 apoke with some lip to it? I have seen some wheel manufacturers that have been able to do a step lip or lip on a single 1 piece wheel but obv it is not a large lip.
Im not necessarily looking for forged, flow formed is fine with me as these are just wheels Im going to be using when I cruise around with friends or attending my local cars & coffee. The forged diamond turned wheels currently on my car will be the track setup - for times when I need to be more concerned with strength of the wheel. Im moreso looking at style/look right now

I just bought a 2006 Vantage with the stock wheels, but am considering to upgrade them to the 20" DBS/DB9 wheels. I live in Hong Kong and I know a guy at a wheel factory in China (that make high-end wheels for the US and European markets) that can custom make forged wheels for me. I'm thinking of having them in graphite with diamond cut finish. I'm just a bit worried about the other threads I've read that Aston Martin doesn't recommend 20" on the V8V. The best tire set-up would be 255/35ZR20 & 305/30ZR20 (rear), right? My '06 V8V - Bought last month with 36K km Found this image on a Lambo dealer website. It's a '12 V8V
On my 07 V8V original wheels are 8.5" front with -50.4 offset & 9.5" rear with -62.5 offset. Check that yours are the same I know they got wider with different offsets around 2012 I think
based on that you would will have the wheel protruding around 21mm extra at the front which will put them around 10mm outside the line of the guard & 35mm extra at the rear which would put them about 12mm outside the line of your rear guard
If I fender rolled, I don't think I should have an issue then with tire clearance? I know the rears will be very aggressive, but tbh I quite like the aggressive wide look - as long as it doesn't look ricey
My issue is moreso with the fronts, I think et35 might be too much protruding outwards?

IMHO a fender roll will make it ricey. Style is subjective to the owner of course, but IMHO I also think a lipped wheel is going the wrong way on these cars. A 911 yes, they look good, but a AM, I am just not so sure.
Redpants wheels on his Grey car which are pictured in previous pages look really good.
The HRE P101 copies I think look best on any of the AMs. Or similar designs. I had a set priced for my DB9 and it was around 12k with tires. To rich for my blood unfortunately. BUT.......... through Redpants and BC Forged I worked with them for the ones pictured below. 9.5 in front, 10.5 in back. Unfortunately the RZ21's which I think are the best CANNOT be pushed wider than 10.5. I would have gone with 11s. But with the offset configured they came out absolutely perfect for the DB9. They flush almost perfectly. Unlike how the DBS wheels would have.
