i agree, i've never been a fan of the Rebels. they aren't the worst looking wheel ever, but i don't understand why they're as popular as they are.

the wheels in the first post look pretty badass, definately closer to the FM/5 than the rebels are.

is it possible that someone makes a spacer/adaptor that goes from 4.45 to 4.75?

maybe tomz can chime in on some adapters that might work, those wheels are pretty nasty, i'd do a 17x9 17x10 combo for sure

nevermind, found it - the 17x10's have 25mm offset so with a thick enough adapter, they'll fit... ideally on a 10in wheel, you'll want a mid/high 40mm offset meaning your adapter will need to be a lil over an inch thick, give or take

wrong!!!!
you will end up with a 0mm offset with a 1" spacer/adapter. The offset is measured from the centerline of the wheel. So with a 25mm offset being towards the outside of the rim, add 1" or 25.7mm, you will end up with a 0mm or a 5" backspacing, need more like a 7" backspacing for a fourth gen, unless you want to put hydraulics on it and be living the "low life." But, it would work on a 3rd gen or less.

Learn how to spell . . . F I K S E . . . Fix - See . . . The wheels above are neat looking wheels, but AR Rebels are not even close to "replica" . . .

I'm laughing that some of you think these cheap 1-piece cast wheels look like Fikse wheels. Not even close. Sure, they have a similar spoke shape, but the rest of the wheel just looks like a steaming pile of Chinese crap.

-rounded edges, not machined like a billet wheel
-lumpy looking chrome. Chrome doesn't belong on a performance wheel
-what is with the HUGE lip edge? Looks truck-like

Fikse wheels are rolling artwork and high end craftsmanship, lets compare:





Not seeing a good comparison here. Nope.
