Hey guys, chasing a set of Simmons fr 17-18, but want to know what i should expect to pay. On ebay they have FR19's for 2.8 with tyres etc, but i cant find any for commodore / holden pattern, and i don't want 19's cause i don't want defects. I found a set of 17's which he sold for 1200..... And have seen the FR18's going for 2k or so, depending on if they're polished or not Basiclly i want to know what there "street" value is, what your average joe is willing to pay for used rims.

about the 2k mark for a good condition set! hard to find FR18's though

I found some FR18's, but he wants 2.8k.. and his basing his pricing off FR19's on ebay, may awell buy brand new for that price ey

For $2,800 they'd have to be mint and have brand new tyres on them. FR18s are by far the toughest looking of the FR's

You know your **** about wheels and stuff, so if you say they're the tuffest i belive you. Yeah he recosn they are silver faced, polished dish etc. Not sure on the tread, but yeah ild want 100% tread, nice rubber for 2.8 Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

didnt they say simmons will be re making there wheels this year or next but there not located in nsw, somewhere else ?

Here is the New Price List for Simmons Wheels. They are being made through Tempe Tyres in Sydney. http://www.tempetyres.com.au/pages.a...Simmons+Wheels (http://www.tempetyres.com.au/pages.asp?ID=Simmons+Wheels)

A Pm from a member Jol's5ltr ; Re: Simmon FR17's Wheels Sold them for $900 mate, I wanted a lot more but got ****ed around so much and needed to get rid of them So basiclly, the wheels are worth as much as someone is willing to pay, who has a set laying around in a shed.

I sold my fr18s to a member on this site last week for $2800 On Ebay fr18s usually go for $2700+, $3200+ for fr19s & I have been noticing 17s go for around $1500 the last month

I got a set of polished genuine FR18's, $2500 if interested.

Thanks squiggly will keep it in mind, looking for the silver ones though with polished dishes.

Are these simmons genuine even tho the website say they are ? And did Tempe tyres buy the Simmon wheel range off them ?

check with the tmu about that defect rule mate, i believe that they got rid of the "only 2" bigger than stock" rule. car will perform better on 17's or 18's anyway

tempe is a joke! they used to have good prices............

also - I purchased a set of 15" x 8.5" simmons v5's for 600 and heaps of people are asking over 1k for a nice set nowadays. more proof its what people are willing to pay.

fark me there dear as poison

Would be interested to know also, But i believe the appeal from these rims are if you damage the dish, you can just replace or re roll the dish easier then you could a normal rim as it all comes apart? Right?
