Thanks guys, they are dymag 7 spoke forged alloys. I have carbon dymags on my db4 and I think they are a bit light for the road, very light gyroscopic effect so I get affected alot with side winds.





From memory the carbon are FR 2.3kg/R4 kg ish mark and the alloy 3/5kg ish with the antera being about 6/10kg so a good saving.

The first time I went out on vdue with the dymags on I nearly hit the curb about half a dozen times, vdue REALLY turns quick now but none of the nervousness of the db4

Yeh...the dymag ally wheels are certainly nice and a nice straight simple bolt on with no need to make up spacers etc, just change tyres and discs and away you go...Vort convinced me to get some for my DB4...and yeh...around 5.5Kilo or 12lb in old money saving in weight over the Old Anteras










Available in other colours also.....
