V8V Wheels (7-spoke) for sale

[SLINC]

Hi all,
Not sure if this is "the done thing" but thought this forum would be a good place to initially advertise my set of original V8V 7-spoke alloys.
There'll be up on eBay later this week but some PH'er may want a chance to buy first?

Recently had the full sportspack upgrade at DMS - hence reason for sale.

Virtually mint condition and a (relative) bargain at £560(+p&p)the set.

Please PM me if you're interested (or mob: [phone])
I'm in Beckenham, Kent.

Blimey Liam, you never stop. Looking forward to seeing the car in its newest form. There cant be anything left to do!

See you soon.

The Woodman - remember?

Hope to see you at your October meet..

This might be a silly question, but do they fit new tyres as part of the sports pack upgrade, or just change over your existing ones?

how are you finding the upgrade? is it the same as the dealer-fit sports pack?

Well the standard Sportspack doesn't include new tyres, although I'm sure these can be specified if required.

The Sportspack includes the 5-spoke sports alloys plus upgraded (and firmer) suspension as seen on the original N400 limited edition Vantage.
It's identical to the sports option on the current 4.7
DMS only use genuine Aston parts so there's no difference having it fitted by them or a dealer.
Well there is one BIG difference - the price!
I saved £1500 going via DMS instead of my local AM dealer.
The upgrade itself is fantastic. The firmer set-up suits the car better and I'm a sucker for the wheels - just love the look of 'em!

Well I got an extra special deal from DMS as also had the N400 sills fitted at the same time.
My estimate of the "Sportspack" part of the work was c.£4,200 (inc VAT and fitting).

Not sure if all dealers have a standard price for this but my local one quoted £5,700!

Check out your one but I'm pretty sure you'll get a far better price from DMS...

That sounds like a cracking deal if you compare it to:

My Main deaer charged £5090 but that was with the latest spec diamond turned/graphite wheels which costs considerably more than the 5 spoke/

Its the best improvment ever, better turn in, much more stable and fun to drive.

Totally agree I've just sent 5 days and 1,840 miles round Scotland in mine and I'm soooooooo glad I managed to find a sports pack car!
