Is this the GNX your looking for?It used to be Heath Elmer's GNX #059
Simmons are sweet looking wheels but they are out of my price range.I think Heath said he had about $3500 in wheels and tires. :shock:

The top GN is mine! :rock: The wheels are Simmons OM series, 18x8.5 w/-7mm offset and 245 40 18's in front and 18x9.5 w/-13mm offset and 295 35 18's out back.car is lowered with 2" belltech spindles and a QA1 GM coil-over coversion up front and Belltech 1.5" springs in the rear and QA1 stocker star adj. shocks. I got them from Jeff @ groupawheels.com and I don't think anyone else imports them so I don't know how you can get them from Australia for cheaper than the rest of us but, good luck. :racer:

Yeah, Chance if you can get them for 1/2 off please post. but like the last post said, I also think that Group A/Autotrend are the ONLY importers to the US of the Australian Simmons and ROH wheels but who knows .... if you got connections PLEASE hook us up.

Right now the price is around $2000 for a set but I am looking into another company that makes some nice one as well, so I maybe going with them. You can check them out @ www.ccwheel.com the Classics series.

The deal with Simmons is that they have a cast center section, which keeps the cost down alittle! Wheels like CCW, Fikse ,HRE, Kenesis, are all forged centers and are lighter and stronger but cost more in materials and labor to build. If you got the coin I would go for a forged wheel.

The CCW wheels are the stuff!!! They are lighter and stronger than the Simmons and they only cost about $2100, where as the Simmons cost are right at $2600.

Thats a great deal for a forged wheel! Where are you getting those prices?

Directly from them. They do not have dealer pricing, the price is the same for anyone who calls. I will have a set on my 96 Impala SS in a month or two once it gets back from a beauty makeover.

I think I may have to get those CCW's. I love the look of the Simmons F series though with the black centers. Who am I kidding I dont have any money anyway :dong:
