Hi,

Does anyone know where i could get buy these alloys for a v8 vantage

I would have thought an Aston Martin main dealer was a good place to ask... I hope you have deep pockets though!

I am not sure that you can. IIRC at the V12V day at AM works they said that they went to great lengths to make adjustments to the layout of the V12V during the design phase to accomodate the wider tyres. I really like the alloys and hope that I am wrong for you. Perhaps someone else who attended the day can also comment.

I got quoted £5200 for a set from Grange Welwyn or £4200 for the N420 V8 ones.

ETA: Needless to say I left it there

Similar - only to a blind man I think.

I would only personally ever put OEM wheels on a car - if you ask me you should stick with what you have or what Aston can offer as alternatives.

Aftermarket wheels are acceptable in the US but back home we tend to frown upon pimped rides.

They are truly awful. If your going to change the alloys, do it right and get OEM ones imo.

Bet you could get that down with a bit of a haggle!

The wheels are forged aluminium and made by Alcoa. I wonder if an enterprising chap could get onto Alcoa and discover the ex-factory price...

Yes, you probably could; I didn't try to be honest as I was just in getting some new plates, and to be honest the guy at the counter was a bit awkward so the conversation wasn't really working.
