when you have a huge wheel and super thin tire like that, the ride is going to be horrible and jarring on a regular road
To: ProtectOurFreedom
I know the guy who makes the wheels for Aston Martin. Don’t know whether he was involved in these though.

Beat me to it.

I made the mistake of getting the 20-inch wheel option on my Cadillac. The ride is fine but the road noise is an issue

The Aston is a beautiful car.
My Dad had a 79 Trans Am.

Also, somehow the cost of thinner tires are far more for some reason. Wait til you have to replace one.
And if you hit a pothole, much more likely to bend a rim with thin tire.

I like the old wheels better.

My Dad had a 79 Trans Am.
I bought him a t-shirt.
It had “Pontiac Trans Am” on the front and “Last Of The Fast” on the back.

Hit a pot hole and you have to buy a new tire and wheel.

I was in the Army and didn’t see Dad much, but he put some kind of go fast kit on that car.
He cut out the back (really the front) of the hood scoop and put hinges and magnets on the flap.
He’d hit it and the flap would snap open.
Great car.
He sold it to a young guy who wrapped it around a tree.

Apparently, the British have decided to discard tires as part of the suspension system. So, they aren't actually for driving?
I see a lot of Latino auto engineering sitting on the side of the road. It's easy to see the broke-dick third world auto styling.

You are welcome.
That Aston is a beautiful car, though.
