I find factory rims always nicer.

Well, how about this: Can any of you PS experts photoshop the aftermarket rims Alex posted on his car and then we'd see which ones would look better...

Well either way you go the rims will suite the car. The factory are more elegant and i find the aftermarket a little sportier. personally I would put on some aftermarket wheels if it was my car.
Beautiful car you have there

I'm not sure, pick the ones you like better.
Btw, how about 5 spoke ones from new DB9? They are also factory ones and look great.

Honestly it doesn't matter, go with what looks best on your car. All I will say is this, no matter what you choose but for the love of god please don't ruin your car by buying some damn chrom rims or spinners...just dont.

Re: Rims For My Aston Martin DB9 - 07-30-2007, 04:29 PM

No problem Just lowered it slightly and increased the wheel size a bit in this pic, just for reference. And normaly you would see the brake disc behind the rim but that was too hard and too much work



I wouldn't chose anything unlss I was 100% sure I'd like the final result.
