Name these Simmons?

[elgt146]

Anyone know the style name these Simmons Wheels are?

All i know is, they are pretty rare, and i'm sure the Porsche cup cars ran a similar style a few years back. I know Jim Richards had Simmons on his white Shannons insurance Porsche.

Yes, they are rare apparently. I remember seeing them back in 90's.
If you notice they have a special valve on them too.

Did you get them made from Simmons at the time or were they on the car when you got them?

Someone told me they were Simmons Alta but they are different style unless it is an earlier pattern.

Valve stem is the same as the FR's, Early one's were on the outer, newer ones hide the stem on the inner through the centre.

True, Alta's were the 10 spoke's, 5 lots of 2. They may be a older Alta design.

Wasn't Regency red by any chance? Only reason they are rare is because everyone tends to go for the FR's, B45's or OM's.

Nah mate it was white and they were on my car when I got it. Car might still be around the area
