Talking Simmons anyone?

So I'm looking at some newer (bigger and better) wheels to replace my fb's stock 13's... I've run accross the Simmons OM 15's... anyone tried these before...
Love the look and they're almost bbs-ish.

Decide what your top priority is.

Weight
Width
Diameter
Looks
Ease of cleaning

Then find out what other wheels have, and categorize, make your decision.

There are tables, such as four that I downloaded, that list many, many wheels, by weight, size, which car they came stock on, and name.

Simmons are by far the most popular wheels for old school RXs in Australia (and I mean by far, probably 70%). OMs aren't used as much as the FR style, but they are all very high quality wheels. Search around on www.ausrotary.com to find pics of rotors with Simmons.
