Now that I've found THREE of my wheels to be cracked, I've been forced into a change of plan

So - would a kind photoshop expert please help me out

I need silver 17" Team Dynamics Pro Race 3 adding to a Moon Grey 20vt

click to enlarge

You'll probably need to flip the wheel image to go with the orientation of the car (or vice-versa)

I can easily take another piccy of the car from a different angle if required

Sorry Nigel, bit rushed. If you could find the wheels on another car that would make things look a bit more realistic.

Here's my go at a slightly different wheel, Pro Race 1.2

I've just shown Nigel (who happens to be my Dad) and he's stuck between a rock and a hard place now, so see what everyone else thinks:

I'd go with the spokes, but more white-ish.

Anyone fancy photoshopping some silver ProRace 1.2's onto my car?

I think I'm decided on the multi-spoke design now - just got to decide between black and silver - my cracked ProRace 1's are black-chrome, which is a perfect mid-point between the two

I'd go for the black 1.2's. They look spot on with Moon Grey!

AAAAaaaaargh!

I'm torn between black and silver

I'd normally be safe and go for silver, but I have to admit that black looks very good against the Moon Grey

decisions, decisions....

I think your car looks stunning with the plusses love

Although in your case I can understand if you have to go to 17s.

Silver does it for me though.

These are the wheels (that I assume are off an Alfa GT (?)) just quickly 'shopped onto Dad's car..

click to enlarge

I think these are my favourite, but the 5 stud pattern and the 19 inch issues may cause a couple of problems wink

If maybe pro race 1.2s came in this sort of satin gunmetal-ish colour then i think a match is made cool

The Pro Race 1.2 come in "any colour I want" according to Team Dynamics - seeing as they will be machining a set especially for me (hence the 4-week lead time) they have said they will do any paint finish I want

I quite like the anthracite....

Decision made...

I visited the Team Dynamics factory today to look at the various choices of colour and styles of wheels - I was also treated to a quick tour of the factory - what a staggering place - tens of thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands of wheels in an immense factory - the painting booths and ovens were the size of mansions - very, very impressive

As was the service - I've heard some stories of poor service from Team Dynamics, but throughout my dealings with them, they have been very good

Anyway - they showed me a new Anthracite colour that they developed specially for Aston Martin - it looks really classy and is nicely mid-way between 'normal' silver and the very tempting black

Just got to wait 3-4 weeks for them to be machined and delivered.....

Can they do custom designs? Or just their range of wheels?

They will do one-off designs - I asked them

The cost is high - for runs of less than 100 wheels, they machine the wheel from solid billet using CNC milling machines and lathes

The design, tooling and test stage costs about £7,000 and then the wheels cost about £200 each

So - even if we got five takers (20 wheels) the cost would be £11,000, which equates to £2,200 per set shocked

Now - if we could get twenty buyers, the cost would drop to £1150 per set - better, but still very pricy
