Looks like Tempe Tyres are now manufacturing "Simmons Rims" no real detail just some grainy photos of what appear to be FR19's.

Awesome, about time this happened. Been looking at second hand simmons wheels and what they are asking for them is bloody ridiculous.

Tempe will only be doing the 19" and 20". This was announced not long after Simmons closed shop.

Whatever happened to Simmons? They were a real status symbol on the 80s/90s...
