We can all agree that certain rides, especially luxury ones like the Rolls-Royce Spectre, are best left stock. But does that also apply to the wheel and tire part of the modifications list?
Obviously not, as this is one mod that can make any car look cooler. The pictured luxury electric grand tourer retains its shiny chrome trim all around, including on that imposing grille, on the wide window surrounds, at the rear, and other components, and is presented on a set of AGLs.
The wheels are called the AGL60, and they're available in multiple sizes. A quick look on AG Luxury Wheels' website reveals that the smallest offering available is 19 inches, and the largest is 26 inches. For some reason, the set is unavailable in the 25-inch configuration. The alloys can be ordered with standard or concave profiles and finished in various hues.
But how does this Rolls-Royce Spectre compare to its stock self? Well, we have to remind ourselves about its OEM wheels before answering this question. The factory offers it with one 22-inch set and four 23-inch proposals, which have different patterns and finishes. In our humble opinion, none look as good as the AGL60s that equip the pictured car and appear superior in size.

It is unknown whether they affect the car's performance, but given the larger size, they certainly make it a bit stiffer. Guess that's a decent compromise for the boosted looks, as it is an even bigger head-turner on the aftermarket alloys.
Without anyone tampering with its electric powertrain, the Rolls-Royce Spectre unleashes 567 horsepower (575 ps/430 kW) from its bi-motor setup every time the driver pushes the right pedal to the metal. The powertrain produces 664 pound-foot (900 Nm) of torque combined, enabling this high-end luxury GT to push to sixty miles per hour (97 kph) in just four and a half seconds.
Don't think that is impressive? Well, then you obviously haven't heard how heavy it is. The Goodwood brand states that the Spectre weighs almost three tons, which equals approximately 6,600 pounds. With its battery pack fully charged, it can be driven for 320 miles or 515 kilometers.
Everyone and their grandmother, no matter how much they know about cars, is aware that all brand-new Rolls-Royces (and multiple old ones, too) tend to cost more than a very nice home in most parts of the world. The Spectre is no exception to this rule, as you will have to fork out well over $420,000 for one in the United States. But if you were lying on half a million dollars and had the desire to spruce up your life with a high-end machine, would it be on your shopping list?
