Yep, someone on here and on ls2.com a while back had pics of them. Just use the search button and you can find out a lot of info on them. They looks simply AMAZING on our cars, you won't be dissapointed appearance wise. However, from what i saw/read they are also extremly heavy.....for what it's worth, I plan on buying them for street use, and getting some drag wheels for the strip.....they look just that nice to sacrifice the weight to me!

i have those wheels on my car with 17x9 all the way around. have some pros and cons about the wheels.
Pros: Great wheel, look amazing, get compliments on them all the time. Of course they are American Racing so the chrome finish is top notch.
Cons: They are a 24mm offset so they stick out a lot further than a stock 17x9. Thats the only offset that you can get. Even though they are made for our cars (which is what the rep at american racing said) they rub on the front with a 275/40. My car I think is the stock ride height, but it could have been lowered because the guy I bought it from didnt know much about it.
Other than that they are a great wheel. I love them. I also am getting some black zr1's for racing. but as far as everyday driving, the rebels are the way to go. I have plenty of pics so if anyone wants them let me know.
