This is a great thread!!

I am looking to head back to 15" wheels on my GSL-SE. The retro wheels (specifically Rota or Enkei 92) in a 25 mm offset are high on my list. I also like the wheels by Drag (the DR-19 or the DR-34) for a more modern look, in 38 mm offset.

Tough choices!

Check out the 2 piece Volks mesh i got for sale. I personally think they have a more aggressive look than the plain faced enkei 92's. They are +20 offset also and gsl-se pattern....what more could you ask for!!

They're "Simmons V4's" Simmons wheels no longer exsists other than in name with limited sizes and models being made by another company under license.

The rims on the Moffat #43 car are actually made by a company called "retro wheels" who make most of the simmons original range in the 16" or smaller sizes

the retro wheels remakes (16" race version)







My original 15" Simmons V4 rims
