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.

    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
