Chrome AR Rebels are here: pics inside
Well they actually got here on Thursday but just took some pics on today. I've got some other mods to do along with putting them on, so they my not be on for a few more weeks.

They look sweet, do you have to run adapters or are they direct bolt on?

Great choice! My favorite and rarely seen on thirdgens, though they're a 'natural,' IMO. I've had them on my "to buy" list for quite sometime. Can't wait to see pix when you get them on.
What size are they, and what size adapter will you be using? Did you have any problem with AR or the dealer you bought them through?
Whenever I've checked with local shops, the shop calls AR... AR wants to know what kind of car... I tell them it's one of ours... and because adapters are required to make them fit, they don't want to sell them to me. So I've learned to say they're for a '95.
Get them on soon and show us!

I plan on just using a slip on spacer.
And the dealer didn't have any problems..Great price and FAST shipping actually. He told me that they wouldn't fit till '93 and I said that I knew and I was gonna make them fit and he said ok.

Oh sorry, they are 17x9 and will run a 275/40/17 all the way around.

When I have money for new wheels, those are the ones I wanted to get, but I want the black ones.
Can you give me all the "specs" for them (like all the info I need to order them)?
I really don't understand the tire size thing, but wouldn't 285/40/17s be a better choice? According to this tire size calculator that size is exactly the same diameter as stock so the speedo won't be off.

Those rims look great. Can you post some pics of them on your car? Or anybody else who has them on their 3rd gen. I've only seen them on a 4th gen, but they still looked good.

No, not yet, I'm doing a C5 upgrade along with them and still waiting on parts. I need to get the brakes on first so I know exactly what size spacer to run.
