Item: Simmons FR18 18" x 8" front and 9" rear suit AU onwards

Price: Asking $2,000.00 ono - negotiable if it means a quicker sale.

Type: Part

Condition: Used

Description: I have for sale my set of Simmons FR18 wheels - these are 3 piece 18" wheels in the FR style. The set consists of 4 wheels, 2 x 8" front and 2 x 9" rear. Offset is to suit AU onwards Falcons, so +38 with 5 x 114.3 PCD. Should therefore also be suitable for a lot of other vehicles such as Nissan Skylines, Silvias, Mitsubishi Magnas, some BMWs and Toyotas, etc.

All wheels are in good condition. The paint on the centres has seen better days, but being 3 piece wheels it is very easy to remove these and have them painted or polished. One of the rear wheels is missing a centre cap (these can be purchased from Simmons or on eBay.com.au).

All wheels are fitted with tyres - they are in good condition to, having traveled less than 5,000 kms since new. They are Durun Sport-One 235/40R18 ( http://www.duruntyre.co.uk/english/performance.htm#sportOne ) . In addition to this I will include a spare 5th tyre, it is the same size but Federal brand.

These are the most popular and sought after style of wheels manufactured by Simmons and they are NO LONGER MANUFACTURED NEW - http://www.simmonswheel.com.au/ .

When new these were nearly $4,000.00 for the wheels alone and tyres were in addition to this. $2,000.00 is an excellent price considering that as of 2 months ago Simmons stopped making wheels and the condition of these.

I am happy to deliver these if local. Otherwise happy to freight at buyers expense, but you must get the quotes yourself and tell me which company to take them too!

In response generally to the PMs, calls and texts I've been receiving:

Yes, they are still available. I will post up here when they are sold.

If your interstate I am happy to drop them at a freight company of your choice. But if you want a quote, ring that company yourself - I'm sure you have a pretty good idea of the size and weight of the wheels, if not, go get the spare wheel from your car and measure and weigh it, times that by 4 and you'd be pretty close!

I'm located in Hobart, and I'll drop them at any depot located in greater Hobart area free of charge. I may be able to assist in packaging them up to.

I have dropped the price to $1,600.00. I won't go any further, don't waste mine or your time with offers below. I'd rather strip the tyres off and put stash them for a rainy day. I've seen 17"'s sell lately for more than this.

Not a price drop as much, but I'm willing to sell the wheels (without tyres) for $1,250.00. This may help to reduce freight expenses for an interstate buyer (which is pretty much everyone who has so far called me about them) as it will make them lighter and smaller.

So $1,600.00 with 4 near new tyres and an extra 5th spare.

Or $1,250.00 with no tyres.

These prices are firm.

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
