| Notes |
Special Aston Martin lacing pattern - laced one line to the inner part of the rim and two lines to the outer part so it looks like inner and outer lacing but is technically three line lacing
This wheel will only fit vehicles with steel brake drums. Vehicles fitted with alloy brake drums require a different rim profile which is not available from MWS in a 4½" wide wheel. Our XW5723 wheel has been fitted to vehicles with alloy brake drums without any problems. |
