yea true. I guess it was always gonna happen... though i never really expected FR22s this soon. I'm sure there'll be some cars that theyll look alright on, but i'd hate to see the FR design become one of those wheels which isn't tasteful which is what Simmons FRs were know for

I'm not 100% sure but i think the original simmons australia where using BBS outer rims with the simmons centre. Can anyone confirm that?
Simmons Australia in its early stages, had a strong involvement with Mike Abay (hence the possibility of BBS outers), together with Tony Simmons, they developed the range of Simmons wheel we all know, using aircraft grade materials and alloys, until only a few years ago, when it changed hands, and current manufacturers started to import materials, in order to cut costs, hence the drop in quality.

would you agree they dont look the same - when you look at the centre of the wheel, something doesn't look right...

Yes, you're right, 10% in Changes are the minimum required to beat patents, and copyrights.
But Sad to see an Icon, come to this.
