Is there a good Simmons wheel distributor around? I see they've closed shop but maybe some good left overs?

The Gold on white actually looks better than I'd have thought.
Hey Pat,

Nah, no regrets. I bought the 930 after the 944T, so it was ok. I see you have done lots to it. The one I have now is really for my lad, although he does'nt know that. I bought him a VS Commodore to run around in while I do some things to the 944. I know it's a quick car for a young bloke but he's the S.A State Champion karter in his class, so he has a clue, and he is very responsible. I have heard from a few folks around that yours is the quickest in Oz.

The wheels will be black shortly. Don't like the gold.

So far your's are my favorite in this thread.

Maybe i'll post my wheels later this week once they're on the car. Too bad it's not a turbo, but it's early offset at least.

The Simmons were an awesome wheel. Very strong and reliable and rebuildable. Not the absolute lightest although they did make a full race version but unfortunately the owner decided he'd had enough of the business and didn't want anyone else to take over as they'd ruin the integrity of the product so he didn't even sell the business on. Shame.

Scott, as for the quickest 951 in OZ, well that's debatable. JET951 on the previous page could lay claim to this but then we probably haven't had both cars on the track at the same time in perfect working order. I also don't know about all the interstate cars but I think we're probably at the top end.
Sounds like your son will have a great car and continue the family tradition!
