American Racing "Rebel" wheels

Has anybody seen these on a thirdgen? I saw a set on a late model mustang and was very impressed with their classy simplicity, but I can't tell how good they'd look on a thirdgen.

Anybody see any?

i think it would depend on the size you chose. definately 17 or larger just because of the inward bend as the spoke meets the dish.

They are for a FWD offset, spacers will be needed if I read right. They might have a RWD so check it out.

I don't care for them on the 4th gen with the FWD offset, but on the Mustang I saw them on, they had a deeper offset, more similar to how the thirdgen would be. WIth the deeper offset, I thought the wheels looked much more tasteful.
