they are called FR17, FR18 and FR19 depending on what size they are. They are not chrome, just highly polished.
They are about $700 per rim (polished centres are extra)
I have a set on order for my G Pak

i'm not a fan of the fully polished centres either. mine will be gunmetal (dark grey) with the polished lip.

they come in whatever stud pattern and offset you like, you just tell them what you want and they make them to order. takes about 4 weeks to get them.

tempe tyres in sydney bought the tooling for these when simmons sold up
as said above, you can buy any pcd/width/offset nowdays, obviously quality isnt exactly the same due to slightly different material but much more flexibility

I'm sure it said on Hoppers site that it's only the 15" Simmons that don't clear and need a spacer.Anyone know if the FR17's clear the 290mm hopper stoppers kit on an LH?
