New wheels!! (and info on aftermarket lug nuts)

Recently picked up a set of 20" HRE P40s in the brushed finish. These wheels are absolutely amazing. The are gorgeous, and the finish is second to none. The fit is also nice and aggressive, IMO it compliments the v8v perfectly and makes it look a little more muscular. The rear wheel has a slight bit of concavity to it; looks simply amazing in person. There are PS2s/PS3s mounted on them (245/35/20 PS2s and 285/30/20 PS3s). Cant wait for the winter to be over and slap these on all four corners.

Also, the stock lugs were too thick to fit the HREs, so I did a bit of research and ordered a few different lug nuts. The ones in the below link fit perfectly and are only a tad bit longer than the OEM ones (41mm vs 36mm - and no, the 34mm option they have available did not work). But they are a lot thinner (19MM socket).

Nice wheels, but that shelf scares me. I'd worry if things fall on the hood

Very nice man, so it sounds like you are waiting for winter to be over to put all four wheels on?

looks super aggressive mind sharing your specs (offsets and widths) along with where you purchased (for possible referrals)?

Spline socket 1.5" closed end lugs are what is needed at the standard Aston pitch.

You must be congratulated, superb wheels and in superb taste. I was so readying myself for another yak-black wheel thread.....

Looking forward to a spring-time photo shoot, seriously.

you mean lug bolts correct? I have bolts, and I also would like to replace them because of their size.

Thanks everyone...I picked up the wheels slightly used so I saved a little bit over buying them new. They were pretty much brand new, I dont think the previous owner drove his car much at all. I dont know the offsets, but I can find out from HRE if anyone is really interested.

Zambono - the link I posted will work for you as they did for me..

Congrats on the wheels!
If you want spec details, email me a serial number off the wheel, and I can help you out.

Also, please send me some pictures of the car once the weather gets better
