Simmons are expensive, based on the quality I suppose. They're very strong, reasonbly light, and are made custom to suit the requirements. I bought these second hand, so I can't say the new price. I thought I read somewhere that Mariah sell them in the states.

These are 15x7". My car is an SA, so they look great with some deep dish action! Around a +20mm offset. Unfortunately they aren't really big enough for the brakes I wanna put on!

Well, I have nothing more than redone stockers, but IMO they do look like aftermarket rims. I have had many people ask if they are aftermarket.
