Simmons F90 16 wheels, what do you think?

i went onto the Mariah Motorsports site, and under wheels i found some nice 5 spoke 16'' rims i liked, but does anyone have any better 5 spoke chrome rims possibly 16-17'' that will fit an 82 GSL?

the simmons F90 16 rims are the ones i am talking about.

Simmons are the best wheel for rotaries ever. There's a reason why probably 90% of rotaries in Aus have Simmons.

Although, an expensive wheel compared to most other brands, they're all made to suit the car, and will fit perfectly. They look awesome and are top quality.

Well worth the money.

I have the 15" Versa's on my car...

just wondering 4x110 are hard to come by. and those rims are nice. you can get them in 15 x 6-10... haveing 15X8 for the rear would be nice.

if you could fit them

Simmons are pricey. Mine are 15x7 front and 15x8 rear. Mine are also 4x110mm.

The beauty of Simmons is the every wheel is custom attitude. They'll make your set to suit your car, meaning 4x110 and the right offset etc.

I prefer the F series as well, especially FR17s (like AJC13B). The F90s are a good buy, if you're prepared to fork over the cash. Also, Simmons don't come in chrome, you can get them polished for a surcharge, which looks awesome.

They're made in Ausstralia and yes... they cost aprox $600 a wheel. The good thing is, they're make any color and patter and size you dream of. If you have the money, god damn right you should get them!!!
