It actually looks like they're trying to bring it over. So then it's: too bad I can't afford one.

I'd settle for a Vantage V12 Carbon Black. That there is a car.

I agree . My earlier comment was purely based on styling. I think the look of the Vanquish is unparelled. But I am aware that performance wise is pales considerably to the DB9/DBS/Vantage.

It would be like owning a classic car to me. All about looks and nostalgia as opposed to performance.

Did you ever put the Aston wheels on the Z?

Aston Martin DB9 19" wheels will work on the 370Z with spacers, hubrings and new lugnuts.

The stock and sport pack DB9 wheels are:

19x8.5 et50 5-114.3 front
19x9.5 et62 5-114.3 rear
235/40/19 bridgestone tire front
275/35/19 bridgestone tire rear
wheel center bore is 70.5mm
lug bolt/lug nut 60 deg cone style

for proper fit you will need:
1. qty 20 cone style lug nuts (any style you prefer)
2. front wheel spacer pair 25mm (adpater style or slip on style will both work)
3. rear wheel spacer pair 50mm (adapter style only)
4. qty 4 custom hubring 70.5mm outside diameter to 66.1mm inside diameter

The tire sizing is nearly identical, with only the front tire being slightly thinner and shorter than your stock tire but you can use them no problem. I'm not a big fan of the stock Bridgestone tires but you can use them up and upgrade to a better tire in the exact sizing later if you want.

The DB9 sport pack wheel is forged and 1kg per/wheel lighter than the regular DB9 wheels.

Feel free to PM me or post here if you have any other questions. Looking forward to seeing pictures!
