They've put some camber on so he can go 0.6mph faster to starbucks.

Because whoever owns that is strange in the head, and apart from having lowered it about twice as much as necessary and what's considered aesthetically pleasing, he's been fiddling with the angles in order to fit the ugliest of HRE's available in a race-y sort of toe/camber, which is interesting seeing as it's, in fact, a grand tourer and shouldn't be rolling with such a gay camber.

Here's a Vanquish that hasn't been brutally raped - see, the wheels are all lined up properly and it looks great;

I believe so, yes.

While they looked okay on his QP, they look truly hideous on this one. It may be the stance though. I just can't stand wheels going under the fender - if you don't have the same wheel gap all around, you should be tied up Josef Fritz style and be peed on by someone every day for the next 15 years.

I kind of like it, although those aren't the wheels I would choose.

This is my fav aston by far.. those rims aren't ugly but they're too big on the car

Since they lowered the car, they camber was adjusted. Thats usually the case when you lower almost ANY vehicle...

Just another case of some bonehead putting wheels on his car that are clearly too big.
