I was wondering if any of you have changed the colour of your wheels?
If you have could you please post a picture of them as I'm thinking of getting my wheels
powder coated because there are a few stone chips on them and I would like to see what works for me
colour wise.
Can you buy the new 4.7 wheels?? if so how much are they?

Thanks in advance.

Not a fan of black wheels on black cars, but the medium ground looks nice (anthracite).

Love black wheels on white cars!

1. Anthracite

2. Black











3. Silver

I wanted anthracite wheels on my V8V (sunburst yellow) but wasn't prepared to lose the sportpack wheels to do so.

I got the dealer to do mine before I picked the car up (they were silver) - had matt anthracite finish, as Id had that in the past on other cars - the matt finish is easy to clean, dust sticks less...so they always look errrr....grey and dirty all the time LOL wink

I think a 2/10 for bad parking! smile

Black would look good but then needs red calipers

Always silver ... don't like dark wheels.

For my MY09 V8V I recently bought the 10-spoke DB9 wheels and had them chromed. Most of you will say that's ugly, I know .... frown

My wheels were refurbished by Grange Aston when I bought my Vantage from the 2 years ago.

At a recent check up with Harwoods in Chichester the poor condition of the paint was made very obvious to me together with the news that they had been done in the worng colour and where shiny rather than the satin/matt finish they should have been. irked

I am now faced with a dilemma of restoring them in the correct colour/finish or to change them for one of the suggestions above (my Vantage is also black).

I think I will go for anthracite but has anyone had anything else put on?
