Question regarding Vantage S and N430 wheel differences

[tom-4hcey]

Hi Just a quick one regarding the 19 10 spoke forged light weight wheels that I believe were an option on the Vantage S in diamond turned finish and came standard on the N430 is that correct?

Reason for my question is my Vantage S came with the forged 10 Spoke wheels when I bought it a few years ago I have since purchased a set of the standard cast vantage s V Spoke wheels just out of personal preference, I have had the forged wheels refurbished in graphite and had them sat in the garage for some time, they are now getting in the way and have decided to sell them, 1 buyer has asked if the n430 version were forged and the S version not forged. I m sure I am correct In saying they are both the same wheels just the choice of finish? Graphite colour comes standard on N430 and graphite with diamond cut faces on the S as an optional extra instead of the standard S fitment V spoke wheels.
But thought I had better double check with the experts?? Let me know your thought's?

Thanks in advance for the advice.

Forged alloys on N430. Mine for reference, same as you have them painted.

You are right, Tom. For some strange reason (journalism and/or clever AML marketing) people consider Vantage N430 to be something "superior" to V8 Vantage S. It´s an ineradicable nonsense.

Sorry, Steve, the standard MY16 onwards wheels are not forged.
