Genuine original Simmons wheels of any flavour have retained their value extremely well. They were a premium product with a limited build and high desireability.

As for the Tempe "Simmons", pass.

Anything that comes out of Tempe wearing a Simmons badge. The original Simmons were made in Australia and were an exceptional product. I have a set of FR18's (Commodore PCD, yes once upon a time I rolled in a VT Commonwhore ) that I will never part with unless offered an insane amount.

No mate, MC racing is a different brand. Tempy bought simmons and have since cheapened the brand.

I do notice that it's only old school simmons for fords are holding there value, simmons for holdens seem to be cheap as.
