Re: Rims For My Aston Martin DB9

Alex, I think aftermarket 'rims' are acceptable when the car is a mass produced car like Hondas, Toyotas, Fords and Chevys..... it makes them stand out looking like they belong in 'the fast and the furious'... you know them, all flash, no dash ... but not on these masterpieces! I think it has the complete opposite effect on these cars, it actually lowers its class considerably by 'bastardizing' them with aftermarket 'anything'.
Masterpieces like Rolls, Bentleys, Maseratis, Aston Martins, Ferraris, Lambos or the high end models from Mercedes, BMWs, Porsches, and Audis always look fabulous straight from their factories; the way their original owners intended them to be from the (very limited but tasteful) pool of available options. Changing the beautifully crafted wheels on any of these cars is a SACRILEGE! If you still want to spend your $$$ in new wheels, please consider the ones offered by AM only!
BTW, your car is already spectacular the way it is!
