Im a fan of Simmons and still think they have their place on some old school cars in the 80's and 70's. But considering how much they are, I agree with JoesAu, there is certainly a larger range out there to suit the AU for a more affordable price.

The simmons are very iconic though and seem to suit all cars give or take a few.

FR19's are great but not on the AU pic above.
1 chrome bahhumbug and the only way to have the correct looking fit must have 9.5" width for the rear and 8.5" for the fronts, those fitments provide dish importantly especially at the rear !

Yeah they arent bad. A nice rim. Look tough with car lowered and dark tint.

20's are pretty huge. Whats the chances of them rubbing on suspension components?

Cobra rims are just GT 40th anniversary rims with white paint instead of black, which are just normal BFII GT/GTP rims which have a machined finish, no paint

should look good but.
