Default odd odd sighting.

today i went to santa monica to pick up some tires for my bicycle. and i saw an SC400 with Aston Martin wheels. most likely from a newer model (vantage, db9, etc.). maybe even from a vanquish. oooooh. but yeah, didnt know they were the same bolt pattern. although, they were under the ford umbrella and mustang wheels do work for us.

still not sure how i feel about this.

heres a craptastic picture.

They don't look "that" bad, but if your going to spend that much on rims, there's better ones out there.
