Probably wouldn't be long before the chrome started flinging off of these.

i gotta agree with tony, the similarities end with the general spoke design...i mean the wheels look like chromed plastic...

Those are ' Stern ' replica wheels made to replicate the old Saleen Fox Body wheels, not Fikse FM5s.....while they are nice they don't compare to Fikse wheels

I know the ar rebels dont look like fikse but I still like those wheels.. Either I say if you want the fikse's or you don't. I dont see how they look like fikse or ar rebels look like them either but for the price they dont look bad. Same goes for the rebels, I just like the look of them, never thought they looked like fikse's?

Take a closer look at the Rebels, with the 2 rivets per spoke and the major factor that they do NOT have a "ring" around the 5-star, they do NOT look like the FM/5s but still not my taste.

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

The two rivets that flank each spoke on the Rebel....those bother me. They serve no purpose, and make the wheel look gimmicky and cheap. It is obvious the wheel is not a multi-piece wheel, so it does not require those rivets. They just look silly sitting there, serving no purpose, and not even pulling off the cosmetic enhancement that they were intended for. I'd rather see the Rebel without any rivets, period.

they look similar to the old OZ Futura but even moreso like the old HRE 525,

either way, those knockoffs are still cheap, heavy, chinese JUNk that I'm sure a ton of people are going to want to put on their car.

I couldn't agree more. I hate Rebels. If they didn't have the rivets or the flared out part they would look a lot better

While were on the subject of rebels...i feel the same way but i seen the black version of them and they dont look too bad. I would paint the rivets so they dont stand out as much.. TIM_WS6's ride -
