How can he advertise them as Simmons wheels when they aren't? Do they come with Simmons centre caps?

Tempe Tyres bought the rights to now produce simmons wheels with the simmons print as they bought them outright from Tony Simmons, they had also been selling simmons copys(made from the same mould) prior to getting the simmons name

I remember years ago there was a B45 style one piece rim with the same style centre cap as simmons but said 'exquisite' they looked exactly the same.

far out you guys have it all wrong... do some research... the wheels you want arnt simmons copies, but fr19 look alikes (not that they even look similar) There is a thread on this site about Tempe Tyres and Simmons with all the information about the rims being made (which will be no different to how they were being made)
