Would love a set on my turbo in black....

soooo you would pay over 4k for rims, only to have them be mistaken for every other black centre rim getting around ?

If you mistake black centred simmons for every other black rim around then you're blind, retarded or both.... case in point see
tocchi's FG.... black centred simmons are porn...

Even if I bought a set of billets I'd have the centres painted black...

They don't even look like FR's.

Thats fucking bonkers mate. I'm not a big fan of the FR's on older X-series Falcons, but that looks unreal.

by **Yianni** » January 10th, 2011, 6:22 pm

Thanks, I think the height helps a great deal as well.

That looks tuff! Every man and his dog seems to put gold fr's on the red esp's..It dose look good though

by **old_mate** » January 10th, 2011, 7:21 pm

man, how good would these new 20in FR's look, in gold, in 8 and 12in widths, with 325's on the rear, on a full group C kitted Greens Tuf XE replica. I would fap until i pulled it clean off i reckon

by **justa6** » January 10th, 2011, 7:48 pm

this car was always mega hot, so low and smooth. it was one of those car's i would turn to for inspiration ha ha. found it in my mag archive. stroked to 5.4l and 412rwhp. this with the simmon's, would have to go into my best ford's ever list i think

by **[Sterling]** » January 14th, 2011, 3:15 pm

Fkn lol at the VL. Looks novelty oversize.

by **DAVE302** » January 28th, 2011, 12:53 am

i dont think these parts are interchangable with the original simmons rims, example if i was to buckle my rim, would i be able to use the new outer rim on my original simmons, also do these new simmons have the simmons logo on the outer rim spoke? if not i wouldnt say that they are simmons rims, more of a very good mock up, and a very expensive one at that.

by **AaronEF8** » January 30th, 2011, 1:38 pm

Those ebay wheels aren't Simmons, see how the spokes connect to the wheel, on Simmons/all 3 piece wheels the bolts go all the way around the rim. I'd say they're 1 piece wheels.

Yet to see a car that doesn't look fap-tacular with FR's. This thread is proof.

sounds like someone hoping to justify keeping the exorbitant cost of the 'original's up there...

the Mag Wheel Centre should have bought them.

by **braad** » February 1st, 2011, 9:25 am

Apparently all the moulds, tooling and stuff were given/sold to Tempe tyres, so in theory they'd have the same markings and holes etc
I dislike Tempe immensely so old school Simmons for me

And then he pretty much gave them to tempe tyres... douche

by **EF ECTIV** » February 2nd, 2011, 1:57 am

I dont see the big deal in tempe tyres getting them... same style, forged centres rather then cast... Or am I missing
something?

by **EFFalcon** » February 2nd, 2011, 8:02 am

yeah i don't see any issues with it either.
Tempe sell some cheap shit, but they also sell some decent wheels.
if the majority of commodore owners want to spend $500 on their 20's then good on Tempe for making a good business choice

by **Nikk O'lass** » February 3rd, 2011, 7:08 am

Black FR19's on a Black EB Fairmont Ghia...want.

by **ned** » February 3rd, 2011, 10:16 am

Even when Tony had them the centres were still made in China, and assembled here, Tempe is doing the same thing.
