    I heard the same months back. People seemed to think they priced themselves out of the market.

    That is a shame alright! I have always liked those rims and was keen on putting some under my monaro. Oh well!

    I spoke to Tony at the end of last year, the market had changed a lot and it wasn't worth the investment in new product.
    They had a great run, and featured on so many fine cars it'd be hard to count them all.

    It was a real shame to see Simmons close, and I find it incredible that someone didn't buy the place and keep it going. There must have been some way to bring prices down a bit - even potentially by sending them overseas? The FR series are some of the sexiest wheels ever invented and just suit everything!
