Im sorry but that gold clashes really bad with the blue and silver, The gold stands out too much And the red strip near the side molding is very mitch matched. And the whitewalls are really really out of place.


Car would look nice with silver rims tho.

Speedy Hi-Speed Racing - Matte Black - 17x7 I thought it was the best looking wheel that went with my color scheme. I like the simple 5-spoke design.

Mine are 17X7 TeamLoco 134s which I bought from the Tire Rack. They are no longer available. The company that made them went out of business. Great looking wheels for the price. $139 each.

I wouldn't look too hard, for one, the rims themselves are almost irrelevent, because you only see just the lip of them. What you do see is an aluminum wheel cover. Also, those rims won't fit a stock fiero, so there is a compromise, what do you want, 5X114.3 or 5X100 (stock)? The basic rim is a 16" centerline 3 pc rim of some sort, witch was available in both sizes as far as I know. Your best bet is to get the 16" 3pc. Centerline wheels, have a few 1/8" - 3/16" thick aluminum disks rolled into shape, then use a rotary table or CNC mill to punch the 24 1" holes around the outside and the 5 around the lug pattern (again they are the 5X 114.3 on the real car) then find a neat way of mounting them. It's not easy and it probably won't be cheep. but you would be the only person with them. (other then a couple of cars that are pretty well locked away) I have 16" 3pc centerline wheels on my pace car, see sig. They may not be the exact ones on the real pace car, but put the wheel covers on them, and no one would know the difference.

Hands down Dezent Type T

Only catch is that it's nearly impossible to import to the U.S. for less than a small fortune given shipping costs and the dollar to Euro exchange rate.

Lucky Europeans!

I hope this is not a contest, because if it is,....GAME OVER !

19/20 " combo HREs belonging to madcurl.

Not even up for discussion.

P.S. these can be had for a small fortune (ok a king's ransom !) or your first born child,..whichever you prefer.

I agree, Madcurl's HRE's are the best suited wheel to the fiero. I went to a more affordable route and settled on a set of Katana's

got boost? L67 in progress...

I do like the new wheels but so many look so much alike. Nothing wrong with that but I just want to be different.

I would like to upgrade to 17's but have not found anything too original that I like yet. I will stick with what I have for now. They are period correct style for the 80's Fiero and are still the style of most real roadracing wheels yet today.

16x7 Prime wheels [out of production] 2 piece BBS Knock offs. I made my own Pontiac center caps out of 1979 Bonneville hubcap centers. These were red and had a starburst pattern when I started.

Prime wheels on my Fiero are not too far out of line. I was suprised Pontiac is using Prime wheels on their new cars now. My 04 Comp G GP has 17" chrome Prime wheels [the Factory 17" 5 spoke Comp G wheels] on it from the factory.

I wanted the real BBS wheels but $700 a wheel was more than I wanted to pay in 1991.

BBS 3 piece wheels are still one of the best quality wheels you can buy. You get what you pay for.

I got mine brand-new on eBay.de with new Toyo Proxes T-1S tires for about 1000 Euros. I think tires were 50% of that and wheels the other half.

I agree that shipping would be expensive but then - I just got a complete Borla exhaust from the Fiero Store by UPS from the US.

I you really want something....
