Few cars can rock large wheels and not lose their appeal, and they're all basically land yachts, just like the Rolls-Royce Phantom pictured below.
This pure luxury sedan, which some say may be the best in the world today, recently visited AG Luxury Wheels to keep its shoe fetish in check. In turn, the wheelmaker gave it a set of aftermarket alloys on the large side of things that look similar to the OEM proposal.
Called the AGL60, they measure 26 inches in diameter and fill the arches just perfectly. Machined to work with the Rolls-Royce center caps, they are available in multiple other sizes, from 19 to 24 inches in diameter, and they can be ordered with a flat lip, a step lip, a standard profile, a concave one, and for additional personalization, interested parties can pick almost any color they want.
Made from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 forged aluminum for a perfect strength-to-weight ratio, the AGL60s are compatible with the OEM tire pressure monitoring system and the mounting hardware. AG Luxury Wheels has already fitted this set to multiple other rides, including the Rolls-Royce Cullinan, Wraith, Bentley Flying Spur, Cadillac Escalade, and a generous range of Mercedes vehicles.

As a result, these wheels may not be the most exclusive ones out there, but since they cost a lot of money, the chances of encountering another car equipped with them are close to zero. And even if you do, the alloys likely won't be the 26-inch ones, so this Rolls-Royce Phantom has become a bit more exclusive with this well-deserved upgrade. Elsewhere, it has a black paint finish, privacy windows, and a light brown leather interior with a touch of black.
The wheelmaker didn't say anything else about this modified Phantom in the social media post we embedded below, so it is likely that it does not feature any other aftermarket goodies. That probably applies to the engine, too, which is a V12 with dual turbos and a 6.75-liter displacement. The motor steams out 563 horsepower (571 ps/420 kW) and 664 pound-feet (900 Nm) of torque, enabling this large machine to sprint to sixty-two mph (100 kph) in around six seconds.
That may not seem impressive at all, especially from a modern-day V12-powered vehicle. However, this is one of the most luxurious cars ever made, and it weighs as much as a small shed. The Phantom tops the scales at approximately 5,600 pounds, which is over 2.5 tons. Numerous tuners have power boosts on their shelves for the aforementioned motor, so you could always give your Rolls-Royce luxury sedan a boost if you're into this stuff.
But if you had a Phantom, would you really tune it, or would you leave it in pure OEM form?
