I was wondering if I was the only one that didn't like those wheels. Rebels just look too flashy and bling-bling for me. If they didn't have that big gawdy "flare" right where the spokes meet the hoops I'd be all over them, but that little kick out blingafies them IMO.
The black TTIIs or some black ZR1s look better IMO. Still holding out on pics for final judgement though, as you always seem to have a way of pulling off things that normally you wouldn't think looked good.

I ran my car at the track and compared to how the car felt with stock wheels on it I could feel the difference, so I sold them.
Now I'm running a wheel that weighs less than my stock 16x8 chrome wheels.

they work fine on my T/A...i'd prefer TT-iis but i hated cleaning them...next will be some chrome tt-2s. My car is a rebuild hence the different colors.

im not 99% sure a 25mm offset wont work, im 100%.

lol stang killerm.... dude, you can make ANYTHING fit on your car if you want, that not the point man. look im only trying to help you..... I know my stuff...
and again pictures mean ****, how do you know thats not the 41mm offset? The rear wheel looks ok, but look @ the front wheel, that is STICKING out of the fender, yeah reallly classy....
with a 25mm offset the rims stick out even more then the min 36mm that is used for most f-bodies, the difference between the 2 offsets isnt much about half an inch, but when your car is lowered, or you go over a big bump your tire is going to contact with the front outter fender and tear it up. I dont car if you dont believe me.... but 25mm offset wheels ARE NOT SUPPOSED to go on F-bodies!!!!!!!!! If you put them on your car, im happy for you. its your car and you can do whatever you want dude.

I know the 18's are going to fit and im thinking the 17's will fit just fine also. By the looks of things the 9's dont stick out and all, just look at the pictures! I would have got the 18's but they guy allready sent the wheels out before I got to tell him. If they dont fit I can just send them back. The wheels on the front of that red z28 and that white Trans Am are both with the 25mm offset. Both of them guys said they dont rub.
FLAWLS1T/A- I know those pics dont have the 41 mm offset because I talked to the owners and on that white T/A he has 17's all the way around which only come in the 25mm offset. Thanks for all the help though.

The rebels are a great looking wheel, but they're heavy. 33lbs for the 18x10 IIRC. That was the only thing that stopped me from going with them. Doski, great looking WS6!
