Try www. Tireseasy.com. I have purchased 2 sets from them and have no complaints! Good luck on your search!

I was totally stoked with www.tirerack.com
Not sure about customs though...


Edit to say: By the way, what a great thread to follow. Thanks for all of the documentation and what a beautiful car you have!

Thanks for the compliments and suggestions guys

I was able to make it home for the thanksgiving weekend (Canadian) and I was able to bring a rim home for the test fit and some pictures. Unfortunately there are no tires on the rims yet, so you have to use your imagination:







I also ordered some red pre cut vinyl for the rim lip off ebay. I'm not a big fan of this chrome. The vinyl is much cheaper than having the lip painted. I've been quoted 80 bucks PER RIM to just paint the lip. For some people thats not a bad price, but for me its a lot. Student bills really suck, but I guess they're the priority.

I was also able to test fit the diffuser more. I had it sitting in place and snapped some pictures of that as well. If everything comes together, I may have another member on the forum here helping me out with this piece It could turn out realllly nice!







Enjoy!

It just keeps getting better and better every time I see it! I like the new wheels too, but does this mean those old MR7's will be up for sale a bit earlier than spring time? :P

Also liking the diffuser!

Thanks for the compliments! The MR7 wheels will be up for sale in the spring, but I think I mentioned previously that one of the spokes is cracked in one of the rims.

I can't wait for more progress ! I'll update soon

doublec4, were you by chance in Wixom, Michigan a month or two ago? I could have swore I passed your car leaving work one day. It was a red on black notchie with black wheels, chin spoiler and a IMSA wing, just like yours. Ontario isn't that far away so I figure maybe it was you.

Beautiful car BTW. I hope mine looks half as nice some day .

I was in Michigan a couple months ago, but I didn't bring my car. Must be somebody else out there with similar taste

Thanks for the compliments on the car though!

I've been playing around with photoshop a little more, and came up with a few renderings of possibilities for the diffuser:





Lots of plans, good thing I have all winter to get it all to come together!

I'm going to get the lip painted to look like this:






So what looks better? Your Fiero with the rims, or you wearing your fluffy high heals?
