Some of you may have seen a few recent threads of mine asking if anyone knew of some rims that curved in like a bowl. The only ones that matched fit Expensive Daewoo and Euro cars (BMW etc etc)Then I came across Advanti Babbina's in the Advanti rim brochure. I rang a few places to find out a cost, they ranged from $360 - $450 a rim. - I managed to find the distributor for Advanti in Melbourne and went to them in the hopes I could get them cheaper, but they dont sell to the public. - I also took a few pics of them up against the car.. and a little disheartened off to work I went. Lunch time comes and I decide, stuff it ill try 1 more store (these guys are in Sydney)" Ahh yeah Hi, my names Milton just wondering if you have any 19" Advanti Babbina rims in stock to suite a 2005 Ford BA XR6"Yeah we have those in the warehouse."How much are they each?" I asked the guy."$285 a rim""........ that price is for 19" Advanti Babbina's right?""Sure is, we are selling them at the moment for trade price as we need to clear the warehouse for stock take"So I promptly ordered them with some Hankook Ventus (245/35/R19) wrapped around them.Heres what they look like on my car (some chops I did).Some people may not like them.. But who cares! Total cost + Courier: $2315 (pretty good I think for quality rims - Advanti - and semi decent tyres) Edited 05/04/06 04:13 AM by Bain

If I could have got them in 19's I would have.As for the spoiler, the car looks lower without the spoiler.. The holes are only taped over, so I can put the wing back on when I get sick of the current look.

(Commo and Euro cars)Theres also a Breyton Vision II (set deeper into the rim) and looks even hotter!The car is actually lowered already But depending on how much the car raises, I will most likely lower it again.
