Simmons Wheels....
Just thought I would share some pics of my new simmons wheels.
there 18x9 front 265/35.....18x10 rear 295/35.
Wanted to keep the gold look try to give the stock feel, but i also wanted the bigger 18" to fill up the wheel wells.
They were expensive, but i couldn't be happier. The fit is just right and feel on the road is good too.

Looks great. I saw pics of it along time ago and fell in love with it. But these pics were atleast a year ago, so the wheels arent really new are they?

I caught that too easySPEED =) One more thing, the windshield banner...on one it's closer to the edge of the A-Pill ar than the other.
Regardless they're both awsome cars. Very nice, the wheels look great.

I got a TTA too.
But I sure dont like those rims.
They dont flow and have nothing of the stock look.
But each his own :-) If u like them, its all you :-)
I've gutted mine and rebuilt the whole thing for making some real power :-) So oh well lol
Where u at in IL Paccio? Anywhere near Chicago? We hav eour own Nw In/ Chicago Board under the Regional boards section

I think they looked...ok in the first pics Paccio posted, but the above 3/4 shot Flyinlow89 posted makes them look great. I think the overcast weather on the first pics don't do them justice.
Now everyone wishes they could have 17 and 18" crosslaces but I understand what he meant by retaining the factory look. He knows they aren't crosslaces, just the deep dish with gold spokes is what he wanted and besides you won't be seeing the wheels for that long racing a TTA anyway.

I like them, I'd probably like them more if they didn't have those fake bead locks. However I still like them.

bigwhite nailed it right on the head. I wanted the dish with some gold and 18", yet retain some stock feel.
18" crosslace would be nice, but we all know there is no such thing.
They do look better with sunny skies and palm trees for background.
