I want some different wheels on my 86 gt. they have the honeycomb's. any suggestions? i'll need exact names of your suggestions. alot of girls are probably keen on this stuff but i'm not one of them, yet...i am starting out here fresh with my little dream car and need all the help i can get...i've been looking at alot of your fieros in pics...i like several of the rims you all have but dont know what they're called, where to get them, i'm basically in daaaa mode. links would be great or pics.
I got mine from a 2003 subaru WRX. they fit great. See SIG for pics.

I know some others have Mille Miglia MM-11 Plus like mine. They blend amazingly well and don't look out of place. Cast in Italy, too. Of course, if you're calling wheels 'rims' maybe you prefer something flashier. Mine weren't easy to find in the right bolt pattern without spending like $700 per wheel. I got a set of 17's used for $400, could have talked the guy down to $350 or less but I was too blown away that I actually found them to think straight.

Hi there! I do tend to like "flashy" and i've called wheels , rims and vice versa since the 80's....just my way of talking. i will take note that they are wheels in the future...ha ha

ok, i want something really similar to the wheels you have on the red one in the links on your post...love those...
The Mille Miglia MMII's are no longer made in a 17 inch size with the 5X100 bolt pattern...you can still get them in a 16 inch wheel, though. Your best bet is to go to www.tirerack.com They have a program which will show you all the wheels they have that will fit on a Fiero, and you can actually see how they will look on a red notchback. I personally like the Borbet Type FS wheels. That will at least give you an idea of what's out there. I have 17X7 Konig Monsoons on my car, but like the Mille Miglias, they're no longer available. You CAN find ones very similar to them made by different companies, though.

By the way, if you go to tirerack don't limit yourself to the rims they suggest for the Fiero. If manually select 5x100 you will get many more choices in many more sizes.
MMMMmmmmm yeah, i know what you mean! yummy! thanks for all the info you guys! I'm still looking but will let you all know what i end up going with. thanx!

Lol, it just pisses me off when ricers or wannabe ghetto badasses say that. The rim should mean only the outer rim of a multiple piece wheel.
d00000dz, hytz tha naaaaaawwwwwwzzzz y0!!!
And flashy isn't bad as long as it blends well with the car's looks. I think the MM-11 plus and Veloce look great on Fieros. To attempt to quote somebody else, it shouldn't be like "Damn, did you see thsoe rims? Was there a car attached to them?"

thanks for your input....i'm no 'ricer", "rice girl" by no means!. my car can back up it's looks..not a honda trying to look like a vette...ha. wouldn't want an import souped up to look like something it isnt. if i wanted a honda, i'd buy a honda. sorry for the "confusion" about my word usage, "rims". in my area everyone i know who works on cars and has nice cars refers to wheels as rims. i see that this doesnt digest well with some of you ...sorry! .. please keep in mind i'm a lady and i may speak differently than some of you experienced car guys from time to time....take care!

No need to apologize, everybody says it so I guess I should just change with the times. Jeeze, I'm 22 and now I feel so old! I'm hardly experienced either. I just really really hate all of the idiot teenagers around here.
And now I'm just rambling because it's really late and there's nothing to do and nobody to talk to =P

"idiot teenagers" yep, i know them all to well. i live about 2 miles from a local hangout, its an amaco station with a built in mcdonalds...all the local teens go there every nite with their "rice burners" ha! i dont consider myself old...but i do get a thrill out of cruising through there and giving them a shot of the "real deal" sometimes....ha ha

http://www.millemiglia.co.uk looks like they have 16x7 all the way up to 18x9. Click Products -> Wheels on the menu, then the "browse all wheels".
Check out the Veloce Type at the bottom too. They're simliar and a bit slimmer. I might have gone with those if I had the money for new wheels.
MMMMMmmmmmmm... yeah...... designer Italian wheels
I stand corrected....Tire Rack told me that they were discontinued when I tried to order them, and other people that I know that tried to buy them were told the same thing...and not just by Tire Rack. One thing about the places you've listed, though...one is in England, the other is in Canada. You'll probably pay a hefty price for shipping, customs, etc. It also gives sizes, but not bolt patterns...no way to know if they make it in the 5X100mm pattern by looking at that website.

Thank you...it's always nice getting compliments! Like yours, it's an 86 GT. It does need to be lowered, though...kind of looks like a 4X4 right now. I've got Eibach springs for it, but I'm waiting until I gather all the parts I need to redo the suspension to put them in.

Here's what I have. You can call it rims or wheels..............I'm sure if you're talking to a car person they will know what ya talkin' about. Take a peek. Let me know what ya think.
kooljess, i really like those... there's alot to consider here for me. money, size to fit my car, and what will look the nicest. i will need different tires too? i'm about betting on that. anyone else with any ideas, throw them this way....thanx
one more thing, is there anything i can do to bring out a shine on the wheels that are on it now? they seem dull to me. are they supposed to be that way or what...
.. please keep in mind i'm a lady and i may speak differently than some of you experienced car guys from time to time....take care!
got boost? L67 in progress...
