Steady & TUFEA's Chimmons RF dreams have come true

by **SnyperEB** » July 16th, 2013, 10:35 am

Would nearly be tempted I reckon.

by **Michael (HYPOEB)** » July 16th, 2013, 12:45 pm

Still a bloody nice wheel! I wouldnt mind everyone started using them

by **nstg8a** » July 16th, 2013, 2:46 pm

I wouldn't mind the silver ones on my au.
But yeah at that price they will be as common as fpv copies in no time

by **markr154** » July 16th, 2013, 3:19 pm

Look nicer than Simmons IMO.

by **markr154** » July 16th, 2013, 6:33 pm

E-Series will have to run staggered offset hub adaptors.

He is looking to get 18-19's in the next couple of months or so..

by **pHaT`eL** » July 21st, 2013, 11:07 am

Why would you need to run staggered offset adapters?

You would just get +35 fronts and +45 rears, they would sit the same as on an AU-FG?

by **LUXO_8** » July 21st, 2013, 12:04 pm

REALLY do like...

by **EF ECTIV** » July 21st, 2013, 3:39 pm

looks awesome...

I rang the guy at Top Tyres, and this is what he told me, so maybe he doesn't have the full complement of different offsets?

Anyway, I would consider a set of these in 18-19" ...I think the 20's are a little too big for anything that isn't body-kitted out in a big way.

by **EFFalcon** » July 22nd, 2013, 8:48 am

$1800 + tyres... E-Series owners will be happy running some 2nd hand 18" tyres

So you saying that 18's are now available???

by **EFFalcon** » July 22nd, 2013, 1:45 pm

sorry, mistyped that

meant to say 20" tyres.

by **Ef_frmnt** » July 22nd, 2013, 4:43 pm

I just put an offer on an a black XR6T, if I buy it I'll be putting a gold set of these on it.

by **justa6** » July 22nd, 2013, 5:20 pm

Look the goods on fg

Would this ne what the offsets would look like?

by **wolfblass** » July 22nd, 2013, 11:54 pm

pretty sure those ones on the fg are from tempe tyres.. either way these copies that top class has released do look the goods! yet to see them in person though. Tempted to by some gold ones but gold vertini drifts have me thinking

by **xr6tjet** » July 23rd, 2013, 3:31 pm

They look great, I enquired about them and the center caps say "MC Racing" for those that think it say Simmons it doesn't. $2500 with tyres for the Non-staggered set.

by **nstg8a** » July 23rd, 2013, 5:45 pm

Vertinis are just as good IMO, I'd love a set of Vertinis fairlady blacks, awesome looking rim. Wouldn't suit the barge but.

by **wolfblass** » July 24th, 2013, 8:35 am

If anyone wants them and would like to see them in person first, goodyear tyres in essendon sell them.

How much are they selling them for? Same price as above ?

by **TUFED6** » July 24th, 2013, 12:17 pm

Lol. Chimmons RF20z represent. I'm guessing they aren't a 3 piece wheel?

I guess that knt that was going to manufacture his own will be shitting bricks about now.

by **EFFalcon** » July 24th, 2013, 12:23 pm

yeah 1 piece wheels

by **triples** » July 24th, 2013, 3:09 pm

Are you sure it's 5 wheels at that price?

by **SnipeZ** » July 24th, 2013, 4:28 pm

Why would there be 5 wheels? A set is generally 4 and if you were to get a staggered set then you'll be up shit creek with a spare

Cheers

That's what I thought, until I re-read the first post :oops:

What?
The 5 x 114.3 or whatever is the PCD
The 5 means 5 stud.

If the 5 in 5x114.3 means 5 wheels... Then WTF does the 114.3 mean :lol:

by **SnipeZ** » July 24th, 2013, 6:50 pm : **wombi90 Likes this post**

Lol. 1143 dollars a pair. 5th half price!!!!

Yeah same price

Dayum! I love the idea of being able to afford a fr style rim, but the fronts on that fg look crap! Fr's look awful without decent dish. Guess the 9.5's +35 would fit the front of an el with 20-25mm spacers, then you lose the whole staggered look. :-(

by **EFFalcon** » July 31st, 2013, 8:48 am

EF/EL don't need staggered look, we can run decent dish front/rear

by **Sunboost** » July 31st, 2013, 10:45 am : **wombi90 Likes this post**

They've lost all the prestige of being semi unique now. Don't think anyone with a half decent build would buy them unless they were only going to keep them for a few months before everyone else has them. The front wheels on the FG look arse because of the lack of dish - the whole Simmons look is something that comes from the epic dish.

by **Dumpsta** » July 31st, 2013, 4:52 pm

EFFalcon wrote:EF/EL don't need staggered look, we can run decent dish front/rear

Yeah we can run decent dish on the front but we can run epic dish on the rear with 3 piece rims. If only these were offered in a 10 or 10.5" rear, it'd nearly satisfy.

Got it spot on sundeep. Never = the uniqueness of a real fr. In saying that I've seen plenty of datto's and mazda's as well sporting genuines that look crap coz of the lack of dish. Wish they'd leave em to people that had the room to play.

Not much different really then the Te37 argument. I'm considering the varrstoen copies only because It'll be a long time until I can afford genuine Volks and the cheaper copies actually are offered with decent specs. Plenty of decent builds with imitation wheels though...

by **MAD** » January 22nd, 2014, 8:55 am

It's a shame they're limited to only 18x8 and 18x9.
They really should at least have a 18x10 option.
