Just noticed that Tire Rack finally has the G70 loaded and you can check out wheels on our cars now.View attachment 24245
40mm offset. I won’t speculate on whether 35mm will fit over the calipers. I wish I could have seen the hyper silver in person. I could see those working well but very happy with gunmetal.Wow. I am officially jealous. Those look amazing. Did you get the 35mm offset or the 40mm? They are available in both. I hadn't really decided on gunmetal or silver but seeing those I think I like the gunmetal better. Thanks for posting!
Last comment on the gunmetal is that it is not polished like the dark chrome. Not nearly as shiny or reflective. Not a bad thing in my view but I should note that it does not “match” the dark chrome. That should hopefully com across in the photos.40mm offset. I won’t speculate on whether 35mm will fit over the calipers. I wish I could have seen the hyper silver in person.

I had these on my old car, but in black. The weight, price and looks are amazing. Just in case anyone is curious what the black looks like, don’t have any pics with them on the car unfortunatelyView attachment 24256View attachment 24257View attachment 24258
Here are the Raijins in Gunmetal if you’re thinking about purchasing them. I like the look a lot and the gunmetal color goes well with the sport trim dark chrome. I could see a lighter color working just as well. Good luck shopping!
For the eagle eyed, I had the tires corrected after these pics to have the rotational arrows pointing in the correct direction.
They do look good!Liking the look of these, in gloss gunmetal.

Pairs up pretty nicely with my cars' paint scheme. And the G70 is basically an Aston Martin V8 Vantage anyway, right?![]()
I like those. Classy and sporty. Good for for the G70. C'mon people, let's see some on our cars, I need inspiration... lolLiking the look of these, in gloss gunmetal.

There was a link somewhere that someone posted a site to get OEM wheels around 350 each. I'll look aroundI've been lurking on this thread for some time to see what looks better on the G70 than the OEM 19" Sport wheels. Lots of eye candy, but I still like the OEM's best so far. That being said, if anybody on this forum ever wants to part with their Sport wheels, PM me immediately before I buy a set of these RWCs. They're almost an 18" replica of the factory wheels. They may even be more desirable in that they don't require staggered tire sizes, and give a bit more shoulder height on our lousy Colorado roads. They also show off the Brembo's better than the stock web design wheels.
Before I pull that trigger, could you answer a few questions for me?
1.) Weight? Also, do you know if they're forged or cast?
2.) Source? I found them in Canada (ZRacing) but a quick Google doesn't show me a source in the US. I'm sure you guys would like a few of my US $$.
3.) They appear to be painted a matt black, not a metalic coating. Would prefer if they were like the OEM coating but it's not a deal killer.
4.) Do you have any clearance issues? I see they're offset is 32 mm and I bellieve the stock 18" rims are 34 mm. I'd hope to mount a bit wider tire (maybe 235/40) and can't believe 2mm would cause problems. Would rather not go to spacers.
5.) Do the stock lug nuts work? I see the hub bore is the same for both wheels yet you say you had to "MacGyever" the center caps. Explain?
Thanks for posting. I found a set of new 19" OEM take-offs with tires two weeks ago but they were gone before I could hit the "buy" key. $2,099 shipped! Dam.
