Some may know me, many wont as over the past year or longer i havent had much to do with the E-Series as ive been doing other projects, in particular a 351 XE.
Well last week i bit the bullet and bought the Simmons FR17's of Craig (bearman) on ebay. There was a few questions as to whether these would fit and i was worried too, and a few members wanted pics so here they are! I chucked em on the xr6 and im in love. Since chucking these on ive decided e series all the way as i love this car too much and these wheels have made me fall even more in love! so here are a few pics to those interested, look forward to attending a cruise sometime soon! cheers Shannon. btw 255's on the back no problem, mudflaps are leaving for the sprint bodykit newly sourced and currently being painted ;)  : Oh and anyone keen for a set of 17" gladiators with good tyres?

Looks good.
That kind of tough, old school style of wheel really suits

Gees don't the back ones look PHAT AS.
What tyres are on the rear? I can see the fronts have falkens on them, but the back look like some sort of drag type tyre with a really wide tread pattern on em.

I reckon the Simmons look great on e-series. Most old-school wheels look plain wrong on e-series, but the Simmons give it a really tough look

i love simmons. you can tell them apart from every other rim. if i could afford them i would get a set of FR19's painted either gold or the same colour as my car with the silver lip.
