They're not Simmons and they're not copies.

I love the dish on the rears. I thought they were made by Starcorp.... Starcorp Impuls?

The centrecap on the close up of the rear wheel says "Equip"

After a quick search it seems the brand is "work" and the model is "Equip"

not to sure what they are. They are a double rim where the rivot things around them keep the rims together but can leak air over time where the hub cap is

Dude their 3 peice wheels....

As fairlane_ghia said their Work Equip, very good quality rims probs set you back at least 4k with tyres for same setup new.

Starcorp Impul look kind of the same a much cheaper alternative

Yep, Work wheels. Very $$$$. Polished Simmon's FR's would cost you about the same, I'd go the Simmons, they look even better.

According to below link AUD$4,923 without tyres!
http://www.upgrademotoring.com/wheels/work_equip.htm

These are not cheap Tempe Tyres style wheels, but lightweight forged 3 piece wheels if i had the cash to spend that much on wheels these and Volk GT-C's would be at the top of my list.
