Aston Martin Vantage V8 V12 alloy wheels 8.5+9.5×19 NOS

NOS (New Old Stock) wheels in the staggered 19-inch (8.5J Front / 9.5J Rear) fitment for the Aston Martin Vantage (VH2 era, 2005–2018) is becoming increasingly difficult as supplies from the Graziano/Ford era dwindle.

These sizes were the factory standard for the 4.3L and 4.7L V8 Vantage, as well as the DB9. While the V12 Vantage often used 19x9J and 19x11J widths, these 8.5/9.5 units are the correct “narrow-body” fitment.

Common 19″ Wheel Styles (NOS Availability)

If you are hunting for NOS sets, you are likely looking for one of these three iconic designs:

Key Technical Specifications

• Bolt Pattern (PCD): 5 x 114.3 (This is a standard Ford/Japanese pattern, but offset is critical).

• Center Bore: 68.1 mm.

• Front Offset (ET): ~50.3 mm.

• Rear Offset (ET): ~62.5 mm.

Tips for Sourcing NOS (New Old Stock)

1. Check the “Suffix”: Genuine Aston Martin wheels often have suffixes (e.g., -FA, -AB) that denote the color. Ensure your front and rear part numbers have matching suffixes to avoid a color mismatch (e.g., mixing Graphite with Anthracite).

2. Diamond Turned Hazards: If buying NOS Diamond Turned (DT) wheels, inspect the clear coat carefully. Even in a box, if stored in a humid environment, the clear coat on DT wheels can develop “white spidering” (corrosion) under the lacquer.

3. The “V12” Distinction: While the V8 and V12 Vantages share the same 5×114.3 bolt pattern, V12 Vantage wheels are typically wider (9J front / 11J rear). If you put 8.5/9.5 wheels on a V12, they will look “tucked” into the arches and may not clear the massive carbon-ceramic brakes depending on the spoke design.

Where to Look Right Now

• AstonMartinBits (UK): Often has New Old Stock or “delivery mileage” take-offs.

• HWM Aston Martin / Scuderia Car Parts: These are the primary sources for remaining factory inventory.

• eBay (Germany/UK): Search specifically for the part numbers above rather than just “Vantage Wheels” to find specialists clearing out old inventory.
