iv searched forever on here and i know this was brought up before but i cant find it anywhere.
they are the C6 Rims.
they look good on the 3rd gen camaros.
so im woundering if they do for the Fiero as well.
if someone could help me find the thread on it that be most helpfull.
it was talked about i know that for sure, because i took a peek there afew months ago.

they have a different bolt pattern. You would need an adapter. They would look sweet though!

they have the same bolt pattern as a 3rd gen, i cant remember that there bolt pattern is tho.
i just love how they look!!!
i like the 5 spoke ones the best tho.

Fiero: 5x100mm
Vette/F-body: 5x4.75"

Look up Bubbajoexxx's build thread. It has the conversion to the larger bolt pattern.

thanks ill go take a lookie

ya, diff bolt pattern and dont use adapters. Milla Miglia used to make a ZR1 style wheel. Those were the first set I put on my Ferrari kit. I got them from Tire Rack.

I think Fieros would look Great with Old style vette rally wheels !

are you talking about theses rims?

I believe these guys can make custom hubs in a vette bolt pattern. Best way to go if you want real Vette wheels...

i think that looks fugly!!! but thats just me tho teehee.
would it be cheaper to get them custom made or modify the hubs?
the cheapest price i saw on ebay for the Rims i want were $549 with the buy now section.
but that was months ago. i havnt checked latly on the prices. i dont know how much custom rim will cost.
i would like to get 17" maybe 18".anything more than that is pushing it for me. its nice to have some sidewalls! not all rim and no rubber. looks goofy.

here are some photos if anyone doesnt know what kind of rim i want.

maybe in grey?

or all black?

thats a photoshop.

Thats what I was talking about ! I think the "offset" would put the wheels outside of the wheelwells though.

There is probably hundreds of companies out there making 5 spokes rims .

I dont think you have to fight with bolt patterns and offsets monkeys to have the beautifull 5 spokes look.

see that : Show off your custom rims here!

Here is a thread with more info:
https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/067237.html

the offset will b\e different.
so im going\ to have to figure it all out.
but anywa\ys. some more rim ideas.
what about these sucker\s?


here are\the 5 spoke ones are a 3rd gen camaro.
think they would look killer on a black fiero? maybe someone can do a fancy photo shop. cuz my skills in photoshop suck.

I wanted a set of these Corvette wheels on my Fiero, but its too much trouble.

thos are purrdy.
here are some adapters i found on 1 website.
http://adaptitusa.com/index...n=VIEWPROD&ProdID=22
im not to excited in paying $45 per adapter for one wheel.
i gotta price out how much custom rim will cost for the right bolt pattern and offset.
i might just do a rear coilover to fit more of the tire inside on the wheel. give it awider time. make it look alittle more meaner from behind with some nice wide tires

can someone teach me offset on rims? i got like very low knowledge about it.

Ive personally known a few people that didnt heed warnings and used adapters. There cars are in junkyards right now. I wont even ride in a car with adapters on a freeway. Fine for driving city streets. I had one come off of an older car once when I stopped at a stop sign. Felt a thump and saw my wheel and tire roll across the intersection. Another lost his on a curve on a 2 lane country hiway at 65 mph and a 6 foot drainage ditch on the side. He was right behind me and it wasnt pretty. When I bought one 86 Fiero it had standard Chevy custom rims on it. It took a cutting torch to take the wheels off for a brake job.

so adapters are a no go.
that kinda sucks.
i dont want an adapter coming off! that would be painful!
can you get custom hubs made for the fiero with a different bolt pattern?
i guess the easyest thing would be to get custom rims made up.

There are possiblities with adapters that are hub concentric so the wheel cannot move around. But they end up costing more than a custom made wheel anyway. (and I still wont personally use them). I have heard reports of people welding up Fiero hubs stud holes and having a machine shop redrill them for another pattern. Thats also not very cheap.

crazy.

well i just found a shop fairly close to where i live. about an hour and abit drive. i just emailed them if they can customize a rim for me.
so hopfully they get back to be on a price.
only info i didnt give was the offset cuz im not to sure about the offset. i want a wider rim thats all i know. and really wide in the rear. wide as possible for the back.

Buy a set of wheels for the stock 5 x 100 pattern, you don't want to pay for the conversion work that I had done (I had a hook up at a machine shop).

And as a side note, I found the 18/19 combo to be a tad too big for a stock-bodied Fiero, so I will be stepping down to stock C5 wheels (17/18 combo) as pictured by sjmaye.

what about just 18" on all corners?

I would scan that thread linked above "Show off your custom rims" and make your own opinion on them. I've seen all wheel sizes on Fieros that look pretty good, even up to the 20"+ on Curly's cars. Just in this case, the 18/19 C6 was a little too big for my tastes.

As already stated, the B/C will be wrong and the offset will be way off. You want FWD wheels - not RWD offset wheels.

With 1000's of 5x100 FWD wheels available, it doesn't make sense to spend big bucks making "I got these free wheels" fit.

You are right. I just have a hankering for the chrome 5 spoke like the corvette and I have not found one like it in 5x100. Crap!

well. i got another email back from the shop.
heres what they said.

HEY JOSH. I GOT SOME 19" WHEELS THAT WOULD LOOK GREAT ON THE CAR. 19X9.5 ON THE REAR WITH 265/35/19 AND 19X8.5 FRONT WITH 235/45/19. CHECK OUT OUR SITE WWW.SHCWHEELS.COM GO INTO PHOTO GALLERY AND SEE THE RED FIERO. I'VE GOT A COUPLE OF NICE SETS THAT WIL WORK ON THAT CAR.


here is one of the photos they had posted up on there photo gallery.

what do you think? to big?
i asked them what is the price of thos rims and im still waiting a reply.

im kinda liking thos C5 rims that was posted on here.

Those are sweet. Look a little big in front, but sweet.
