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.

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
