Are you sure those are real Simmons? As far as I can remember they've only ever made three piece rims.

That's what I was thinking. I've never seen Simmons like these. Although they look close to a Simmons wheel, they're just not quite right.

if you look at the zoomed in pic of the SIMMONS logo, youd see that unless someone outright stole the simmons name they are in fact genuine bonafide simmons

i dont have any idea what model they are though. i think i'll give simmons an email and ask em what kind they are. when im not lazy like i am right now

That's the thing. I've seen fake Momo's and whatnot that rip off everything from the original rim including the logo.

The casting quality and overall style of those rims doesn't seem like what you'd expect from Simmons at all. Probably no centre caps either right? They look nice on the car though.

I could be wrong so it would be interesting to hear what Simmons have to say about them.

well they have the room for center caps, but i didnt get em. as for cast quality, it may be the bad finish throwing you off.
