WE ALL DRIVE GM CARS AND THE AR REBELS ARE GOOD FOR US PEOPLE WHO SPEND OUR MONEY ON MORE IMPORTANT THINGS IN LIFE. THEY ARE AROUND 250+ EACH AND THEY'RE GOING TO DO THE SAME THING! TAKE US FROM POINT A TO POINT B! WAKE UP EVERYBODY, WE ALL HAVE THE SAME VEHICLES AND LEAVE IT AT THAT!

Just playing, the Rebels look ok, but the Fikse look spectacular!

Just to add my personal .02 on this matter; If you're looking for a wheel that looks pretty good, you can race on, and will get you from point A to B, the AR wheels will definitely suffice. Our wheels are pricey because they're built with lightweight, durable materials, as their main purpose is for racing. If that isn't your goal, then there's no reason to get them, unless you really like the way they look.
Hope that helps your decision.

For comparison, this is what those AR wheels would look like without the extra "bits"... MUCH better in my opinion. If they offered them like this I'd be all over them.

Someone has recently informed me that the stepped lip Rebel is a newer updated design. The Rebel with the flat lip pictured above is the old design. Man, that caused me a lot of confusion as I was interested in buying a set but I don't quite like the flat lip (the pic all the suppliers are using!).

Wow, that orange Firebird looks awesome!! The wheels are killer, and sort of remind me of the 3rd gen black GTA wheels. They definitely suit the car and as far as black wheels go, to me they look much nicer than Z06 because of the stepped lip design.
