Meteorite Grey Rapid. Just got back on a vegas trip with her, Amazed at how good she is for long distance trip! I am thinking of Putting 21 inch Adv 10 or 5 deep Concave wheels what do u guys think? Thoughts are appreciated

The guy in the picture is a friend taking picture of the car.

 

Congrats on the Car, one of my favourite colours such oldschool looks more grey than black. Personally if it was my car I would remove the by pass pipes, tint it a little bit and get the sportier DBS rims.

 

Thank you for the nice comment! I am going to do the bypass soon but preferred to get some thing that is 21 inch as I have a set of spare tires that perfectly match the offset of the rapide. Any thoughts on anything out there that u think fit the profile of the car at all? HRE, Modulare, Adv, Iforged are some of suggestions that comes to mind... Thx in Advanced.

 

If you want aftermarket, HRE 790R in Brushed would look exquisite yet sporty very "Pure Aston Martin"

 

I was thinking about that but thats very similar to the adv 7 three piece wheels. and to tell you the truth I have been using HRE for my s amg and kinda disappointed in the build quality, my rims had micro cracks on them and kept leaking. Props up to them though for fantastic service! They replaced it with a brand new set free, So I am still a fan! But I felt the way the adv rims are shaped(more full) look a lil better for the rapide than HRE. thanks again for your thoughts, kinda wanna make a decision soon!
P.S, Maybe even the Modulare C11?

 

It depends if the rim is a stepped up lip or not, most stepped up lips have problems before not sure now. I've placed the M40's on order for my SLK55 AMG but I do think those will look superb on the Rapide as well as long as you lower the car a bit.

 

I actually am thinking of lowering the car just a tad, Any ideas?? Thanks again u have been very helpful! and I notice ur from Kuwait, I know that Aston has just been bought by kuwaitis fund so props to them and DrBez for bankrolling a great carI do have one minor complaint though overall, I just wished they had put the DBS engine inside then it would be Perfekt!
P.s BTW those M40 would look great on ur SLK55, Pics pls!

Pics of my S just sold, Gonna miss the beast!

 

Now that you brought it up,


My uncle is the largest stake holder in the company that owns Aston They've got the first Rapide here, Mansory DB9, DBS F1 auto and a Special edition Vanquish S called Ultimate edition.

Wheels haven't arrived yet, 4 more weeks and waiting for the Kleemann Blower to arrive

You can get DBS performance out of your car, checkout Paramount Performance.

 

That explains u have great taste in Aston and cars lol! Btw I almost picked quantum silver too as I really liked it. U gotta let me hang with ur uncle so maybe he'll give me a job at Aston, I'll work for free seriously hahaha!

 

Quantum looks good, its the newer colour should look good. The one my relatives got is Marinara Blue and I've driven a Silver Blonde Rapide back in January, you can find the thread on the Aston Section of the forum search for Rapide Kuwait.
