Only if you want or need them.

They're not collector items, if that's what you mean....

I doubt it, the Fiero wheels are not much for collectors (midnight auto) at this time.

There is NOTHING special about OE fiero locks. They are standard AMCOR locks used by GM on millions of cars. I would not waste time with Ebay for them. They are already up to $18 (11 +7 shipping).

You can get new McGard locks for about $20 at Pep Boys. The part number for the ones that work with the plastic lug covers is in the tire article in my cave. They were even in stock at Pep Boys when I was there last week. Allot of good tire/wheel stores can also get them for you.

McGard is the only brand to use besides OE. They also have other styles that will fit Fiero if you have aftermarket wheels and want something that goes better with them.

Most of the other aftermarket brands are poorly made and even the chromed ones rust easily.

Wheel locks just keep some jacka_s from walking up stealing them. They won't stop chopshoppers. I run them even on beat up factory wheels just to keep them from swiping my tires.

Please do not do this. These are not valuable items and will only give you problems when changing tires. Stock Fiero rims are not in high demand. You will probably loose the special socket and just be in big trouble. I trashed mine a long time ago.
