This is a photo of 3FIVE1's AUII XR8 Rebel with 19" Simmons. More pic's here.
Very expensive rims those Simmons, especially in 19". Don't know if they suit the AU shape though, getting a bit old in design now. On the Porsches is another story, looks damn good on them.
What about these two? Available in 19x8 for AU and BA by Advanti.
Whatever you get it has to be no less than 18's. I have 17's and they look small on a large car.
Those simmons look sweet.
Check the garage section of www.aufalcon.com if you haven't already.

i sold a set of those Advani Babbina's 19x8 to a member here last month for $1800 with 70% hankook rubber there a good looking wheel...
before you buy new alloys make sure you ask somwone to photoshop them on your car 1st so you know you made the right chioce..
I went for the ROH Modenas because of two reasons:
- the Simmons FR19s still can't be made to fit over Brembos
- the Simmons parts are all made in China now (with only wheel assembly done in Oz
But I still LOVE the FR19s looks.

i would be getting the full polished ones though i dont think theyve aged the fr19's were not long ago relased just one concern i have is not being able to go the deeper dish as on pre au fords\does anyone know if it is possible to go a deeper dish than the fr's in that picture
exactly how expensive r these rims?

Simmons are the only way to go for me, my mate has a brand new set for sale - his car was sold before the rims arrived so now they've gotta go. If anyone's interested, PM me and I'll give you contact details. They are Gold in colour, polished lip - don't know exactly what rubber but they suit AU-BA, price is $3800 I think.
