hi all
had a amv8 for a few months and with out doubt its the best car ive owned for the pure smile factor every time im out in it. the noise the look the grunt. its perfect, BUT theres always a but. i want different wheels on her, can any body tell me wat is the right fitment i going for 20's need to no the off sets and anything else you think i would need to no.

IMHO the 19inch 7 spoke you have here really suit the car. If you have to change take a look at Vantage S or V12 wheels all of which I believe are 19inch which says to me 20's won't work so well!

Space the rears out first and lower it, see what you think. Those are THE rims IMO

All the DB9 wheels fit as well FYI, but are 19".

If I were you, I'd be going for some AM Sports Pack wheels, there is no better looking wheel out there. Or DBS wheels, someone posted a Vertigo Blue car up wearing a set. They looks a bit... big?

Burntout's car looks damned fine though, some 20"s work, some perhaps don't.

20' rims =. Crap ride + they can catch the arches.......don't bother, the rims you have look fab......the bigger rims will look Chav

I don't like the wheels you have either, they look a bit dated now, but 20" makes the car look too small - have a look on 6speedonline, there are several Vantages running on 20" and they almost all make the car look silly and tiny.

Burnout's probably work because they are tyre coloured, so you can't tell they are 20", so if you have to go to that size, then disguise them so they look like smaller wheels ... but then, you're compromising the handling and the ride to get something you can't see.

I do normally like 20" wheels, and have them on my Audi A8 where they match the scale of that large car, 4x4s can even go over 20" without looking stupid, but the Vantage is such a small car that it looks like a cartoon on wheels that size.

Here's some nice wheels for you...but not much rubber on the road...

OK, that's three times now. It's 'know'. You will let us 'know'.

Sorry, hope you get the wheels sorted!
