- 2004 VY Series II Executive
Hey guys,
Ahh the endless search for choosing rims. Today went and checked out some brands and prices at a friends shop and he suggested a pair of Advanti Photons along with a few other sets. Being a good friend he said he could do a good deal on rims + tyres + fitting + balancing so natually I listened up.
Being the person I am I ran home and started doing research on Advanti as I had never personally heard of them before. Searching these forums I found people generally seem pretty happy with their Advanti's and such which is a good thing. Advanti are imported by YHI as far as I believe aswell.
Upto this point I had my eyes set on a pair of 18" VY SS, but after todays effort now I'm not too sure. Like everyone else I want something a bit unique, so naturally VY SS wouldn't be the way to go - but on the other hand keeping things genuine is always good. I have already upgraded small parts of the interior with SS/HSV options (shifters, pedals, handles, vents etc) so whether I choose to keep the wheels genuine aswell is another story.
I own a Barbados Blue 2004 VY S2 Exec if it helps. He did suggest chromes may suit the colour, but not a huge fan of them (plus upkeep and being attractive to police and thieves). His main suggestion was Advanti Photon, they look pretty good, but do have a fairly common look about them.

Yes I understand there is a thousand options and brands for rims, but I find myself just getting confused - all I care is that if I did choose Advanti, I knew they were of quality build and generally a good brand and well made wheel - and of course I liked em. I am of course open to other suggestions on brands/ranges and whether any tyre shops in Brisbane have specials on at the moment.
Cheers.
