You can get DBS performance out of your car, checkout Paramount Performance.
Wow thats quite a collection, I liked everything except the Mansory Db9. Just a lil too wild for me hehe, I preferred the understated aston looks like u said. What do u think about the rapide racer on the rims don u think they kinda look like adv wheels?

Honestly not a fan,

How about the 5 spoke Concave's in brushed finish, now with a little lowering I think the oem suspension is adjustable it will look superb with the 21's or 20's go for a staggered finish



I am sure one of the members can do you a photoshop

Congrats on your kleeman blower I bet It wil be a beast!!Haha funny we have similar taste in rims, I really like that actually but not sure whether it will fit the profile of the Rapide as it is 4 door. I was thinking of getting the 3 piece design, here is a pic. If anybody could help with photoshop, it would be greatly appreciated!

Nice looking Rapide! I think you're the first US owner on TS.

Congrats and I hope you continue to enjoy your experience with the car.

Like MM, I think the DBS sport wheels would look the best.

That does look SiicK, Thx JWB! Is there anyway you could photoshop the Adv 5 wheels, like the one posted above, onto my car? I am kinda considering a five spoke too. I do want to get Adv wheels but they told me it would take up to 6-8 weeks and I just dont have that kind of time. Is there anyway I could get my car sponsored by Adv and get a discount on the rims? some other wheels manufacturer are interested but I am not sure about the design of their wheels yet.
P.S. can you PM me the pricing and ETA for ADV wheels. Thx

If I had a Rapide I would be all over this wheel, really transforms the car.
