  • VIC FS: Simmons OM 17"

    This is more an EOI into them being rebuilt as i need to minimise some projects for my mk3.
    I have some 17" 5x100 Simmons OM parts laying around ready for bigger lips
    each centre is individually stamped with its build number
    Mine are silver, but this will give you some idea

    will get pictures of centre condition once I dig them out
    needs spacer to clear 288mm (8mm id guess) no worries on 232mm rears. havent tried other sizes yet

    I can build them to:
    7.5et40 (approx 1-1.5" lip)
    8et34
    8.5et28
    9et22 (approx 2.5-3" lip)
    and so on

    Bolts will be polished. stock nuts re-used
    Barrels factory finish.
    centre as factory, some marks
    fresh lips using genuine Simmons tooling, polished
    black centre caps with gold text
    torqued and sealed

    $2000 firm. built to any of the sizes above. will require $500 deposit and will be a 6 week build time (takes approx 4 weeks to order new lips)
    pickup from ferntree gully VIC
    or post at buyers expense.

    can build to other sizes (example: 8.5et40, 9et34 or 9.5et2 using new barrels at extra cost
    can powdercoat lips, barrels, centres at extra cost
    can build to 18" at extra cost

    Fwwoaar frothing... if I hadn't just purchased new wheels I'd be all over these.

    Absolutely grin at the sight of the old 80s Simmons wheels...especially the V5 model I had on my WB tonner.

    GLWS...I don't think these will last too long at all.

          Cheers, hopefully be gone quick. Otherwise I'll just have to build them for myself

          They will sit nicely on the mk1s roof racks if you tie them down correctly

            Wow these are very special wheels.
            I 'LIKE' them and why your selling them I do not understand. But some lucky buyer should jump on these now!

              Money, space, time. All the usual things.
              I will build them for myself and run them if no one jumps in prior.

                Jeez, these are awesome, these or your audi tt wheels....wish I didn't see these.
                How much would it cost to get them in a gloss white with polished lips? and probably designed for a flush fit, not to aggressive to keep police eyes away.
                I prefer these to the audi tt rims just a few weeks wages haha you pay for what you get I guess.

                  Want to say $200-250 for all 4 centres including paint stripping, but I'll find out
                  Lips and bolts come polished in the price ;p
