Simmons wheels? Whose got em? What do you think?

[Big Paul]

Hey guys, i've seen alot of pics on the web of GN's and TR's with Simmons on them.

I think they'd look good on my S-10, but I don't know. I'd like to get a set.

But I don't know how expensive they are, being that if I can't get them from the dealer in AZ that I saw on there website. Then i'd have to have them brought all the way from Australia.

Do any of you know what the price range is on a set of the, I can't remember, the FRs I think they were.

Kinda funny that guys with Ferrari's and $$$ cars have these, be funny to see them on a S-10.

Are these light at all? I don't want a ton of unsprung wieght, I know what it can do to performance.

Thanks all!

Here's some pics of my friend's car with 17x8.5, 4.25" b/s on the front, and 18x9.5 with 5" b/s on the rear. The car has run 10.1 at 134 mph and is a stroker stage 2 motor.

I know that he ordered them from someone here in the US and did have to wait for them to be made and shipped from Australia. I think the whole tire and wheel combo was almost as much as I paid for my whole GN.

Ok, he says he ordered them from Group A in AZ. They are light wheels but are made strong for cornering and therefore not as light as, say, Draglites which are made for staight line. The wheels were about $2000 and the tires were about $1000.

OUCH!

You know I might just get the Draglites, I was thinking about them, but I thought the Simmons looked sweet. They do, but thats alot of money for wheels.

They'd be almost worth more then the truck after I get done buying them and buying tires for them.
