    Well, artisans would prefer to keep it real than be sellouts.

    Makes them more valuable to those that have/want them.

    I had a set of Simmons FRs that I sold with tyres for $400 when I was 18 because I was poor.

    Simmons Wheels
    Our long association with Simmons Wheels has temperarily ended with the announcement of the closure of the Simmons manufacturing plant in June this year. We are in negotiations with Tony re purchase of the plant, equipment, casting moulds etc. with the view to <!--{12527491883972}- resurrecting the famous Simmons FR, Simmons OM and Simmons B45 3 piece wheels.
    We will continue with repairs and maintenence etc as there is still a supply of parts available.
    Any progress re supply of Simmons wheels will be announced when finalised.

    I hope someone actually buys it all off the old fella, cos they're some really nice wheels...it'd be a real shame for them just to stop.

    I guess they're now that much more revered

    I want to see them make the B45s again if MagWheelCentre successfully takes over.
