It says on the Simmons site they dont do 15" rims anymore..If I need some rims made for Simmons in 15" who are the gurus?..just the rims...not the centres. Any idea of $ each rim?

Rory,
.
Give Neale Wheels a go at Strathfield, Sydney (02)9642 1002. They do composite wheels, alloy centre, steel rim. They may also be able to do alloy rims to match your Simmons.

Theres that bloke off the highway there near Bob Jane Springwood who does 2nd hand wheels too. Keiths Wheels? Commodore ones are good because they have a small outer offset and a large inner.

John Tetley (who owns Queensland Raceway) bought lakeside a while back, and apparently there were plans to upgrade the track (to make it safe). The intention was to run what he called boutique events (historic and the like) but not major events, because it upsets the local residents...
To upgrade from goat track status is sure gonna take a bit of cash...

Rory, what hub/hat/disc combo are you running again? As mentioned expect caliper clearance problems (rim mounting bolts hitting the caliper) with anything other than standard setups...
Assuming you are running a hat/disc combo, it wouldnt be that hard to get some custom hats made with some extra metal on the mounting flange to give the clearance you need...
where's datto.. ? Im sure he would have a suggestion
Just realised i put this in the wrong thread
DOH!
