I couldn't find some wheels matching nicely with that angle, so I worked a bit on the concept (not a lot of differences beetween them )

V8 vantage wheels (dark grey) :



DBS wheels (very dark grey) :



DBS wheels (light grey) :



I'm now trying some tuner stuff like Project Kahn etc ..

Dark Grey DBS wheels, definitely!!!!!! Astons are aggressive, yet at the same time somewhat dignified and restrained. I think the Vantage upholds that styling credo to a tee. Astons simply so not look right with flashy, OTT, aftermarket wheels.

I love the idea of a light colored V12 Vantage with dark colored wheels and a few dark colored accents like the mirrors, splitter, etc.

I really think AM hit it out of the park with the V12 Vantage. It is such an aggressive, mean looking car and was somewhat underpowered with the V-8.

Yep I agree with BigE 101 % . Dark grey DBS are the best IMO .

I've been trying some other wheels but none was really feeling like "Wow ! I want those on my V12 Vantage !"

Something like that is just ... awesome . My eyeballs exploded having a visual orgasm while making this photoshop (fast render) ...

HOME RUN!!!!!! Perfect color for the car and the wheels. I love the grey mirrors. Maybe make the gas filler cap and front quarterpanel vent grey as well.....

Titanium/gunmetal grey p40's?

Only problem I have with the DBS wheels are they are too small. The V12 Vantage comes with 19 or 20 inch wheels if I remember correctly.

I vote P40s or N400 wheels. For some reason, the DBS wheels just don't do it for me.

The HRE P40s really do look good on everything. This car could also use our carbon mirrors
