Get ready to feel a surge of skate nostalgia and pure stoke—because Sims has just unleashed the Ultra Limited Edition Tom Sims Tribute Wheels, made right here in California! As a member of the original Sims team in the ’80s, I couldn’t be more excited to introduce these legendary wheels to the world in 2025. Only 100 sets per color will ever see the light of day, so if you’ve been a devoted Sims fan since back in the day (or you just know immaculate quality when you see it), this is your moment!
Buried Treasure Turned Skate Gold
The story behind these wheels is absolutely mind-blowing: While tidying up the yard, Hillary Sims’s landscaper discovered a batch of mysterious buckets. Inside? The original Sims wheel molds from the 1970s! Apparently, Tom Sims himself had stashed them away for safekeeping, awaiting a time when technology would once again bring his vision to life. Patrick and Amy from Brand-X tracked down a modern American factory willing to overhaul their entire production process just to accommodate these historic molds. They painstakingly cleaned and retooled everything, allowing these old-school molds to produce brand-new wheels with modern, ultra-premium urethane.
Why These Wheels Are Next-Level
- True Vintage, Modern Upgrade: The molds are from the ’70s, and the urethane is state-of-the-art 2025. You get the classic Sims shape with the smooth, predictable ride only modern formulas can provide.
- Ridiculously Limited: Only 100 sets in each color—ever. Period!
- California Proud: Poured and produced in the USA, so you know you’re getting top-shelf craftsmanship and timeless style.
- Cleaned and Reborn: The extra labor in cleaning up these molds and retooling the factory is exactly why these wheels command a premium—but for any true Sims aficionado, it’s worth every penny.
A Personal Tribute
For me, this run is especially meaningful. I owe so much to Tom Sims, who mentored me and even played a huge part in the early days of CalStreets. I can’t thank Patrick and Amy enough for making sure these legendary wheels found their way into my hands—and into Canada, where we’re proud to keep the Sims spirit blazing. If you’re up north, you can grab a set from us at CalStreets and join in the legacy!
