Optional DB9 5-Spoke Sport Wheels

[whoami]

Has anyone fitted these to an AMV8?

They had one at the launch of the Roadster last week in York and I thought they looked better than the standard AMV8 wheels.

Also, any idea of cost?

Cheers.

I can't help you with cost, but I have seen them on an AMV8, they look absolutely fabulous, even better than the V8's 19 inchers!

[whoami]

Agreed - they look better than the 19 inch V* wheels on my car.

I had heard that they were c£3K though.

Anyone confirm?

They were fitted to a car when I bought mine, not mine thoughb - they were 5k

Call me old fashioned but I really like the 19" wheels and am not convinced the 5 spokes improve it (there's a picture of one so equipped on the AMOC site - radio reception thread in the V8 Vantage section).

There are very, very few areas where I think this car could be improved. Was just thinking today, though, how nice it would have been if the side repeater could have been a set of small LEDs in the metal strake on the side vent (rather than a round lamp under it).

Ouch - I've suddenly gone off them.

What a great idea ! I agree with you entirely - the design of the V8 is pretty close to perfection ! One of the marketing girls at work actually shed a tear or 2 when she saw it for the first time, cos it is so darned beautiful!

Checked with the dealer today - they are £2750.
