simmons wheels

i was just at mariah's website and caught a glimpse of those beautiful simmons wheels. i looked around and found that they are made to order and pretty light, as well as being true 3 p3iece rims. anyone know what the prices are like on these for 15's, or where, besides mariahmotorsports, that they are sold. thanks. also, is it possible to fit body kits stated as "81-85" on a 79, or are the dimensions extremely different.

They are between $350 and $500 per wheel. made custom per order. if you have the money than I would deffinetly but a set of 16x7's. But way to damn expensive.

I believe it is possible to fit the 81-85 body kits on the 79, as I have read somewhere the only modification that you ahve to do is switch over to the 81-85 style driving lights or something .

Contact Simmons direct I think or an Australian distributer of them. I got my 17x7s and 17x8s 2 years ago, with tyres, for $3200AUS

I also wanted the simmons wheels but found them to expensive for me. I found this company in spain which gave me a better price. front 17"x8 275euros each, and rear 17"x11 285euros each. eruro dollar is about same as US dollar. So I imagine 16"s might be even cheaper.
I'm ordering mine on friday I'll post pics when they get here.
