My new wheels came today, just in time to miss the 20th....figures. Anyway, I just got 'em on the car, and they're sweet The wheels are 17" RS Limited Concept Pros in Gunmetal, and they're running on 215/45/17s. I also painted my calipers black before the 20th, but forgot to take pics at the time, so here's my painted calipers (well, one of them anyway)

And the new wheels:




*Edited 'cuz I accidentally put in the front wheel close-up twice instead of the rear close-up*

The fender gap is astounding!

Seriously, the wheels are a greeat match for the color of the car. Lowering springs are available.

If I drop it, I gotta do it with air bags or cylinders, I have to be able to adjust the front end height while driving, that front air dam I've got on there already scrapes going up some driveways and business enterances....and since bags/cylinders are expensive, it probably won't get dropped for a while

This is Michigan, we have potholes the size of craters. Oh sure, I would love to lower mine also but we have to drive here also.

My trick is to spray the wet tire shine on the wheel wells. It darkens them down real well and all but removes the distinction between tire and wheel well giving the illusion of a full wheel well. Dont spray it directly on your brakes.

Nice price on the tire/wheel combo. You made a great choice on the black Fiero!

Hey, come on now....think back a bit....I was trying to buy your rims off you! But you decided to keep them for the time being, so I had to go look elsewhere, and I decided that if I was gonna get 'em new I had to get the gunmetal ones


THanks for all the comments guys!
