I really have the bug for new wheels. I found some that I like, but I've never seen them on a Fiero before. They are Momo Corse 17 x 7 and they come in the Fiero Bolt pattern. Anyone here seen them on a Fiero before? Any pics, or photoshop gurus out there that can photoshop them on a Fiero?

I normally don't say detractive things about wheel choices, but the writing on the lips of those makes it look like they already have a case of road rash. I'd suggest finding out if anyone stocks them and will mount them for you to decide before purchasing. It may just be the photo...

I will have to take a sideview pic of my car later today and post it. As far as the writing on teh lip, good observation. My biggest concern with the writing is that mounting tires will be more difficult without damaging the writing.

The person that sells these is local to me, but he has a policy of not giving refunds once rubber is mounted to the wheel...

Honestly the most attractive thing about this wheel is that there is not shipping involved. I really like the konig Imagines, and the Montegi MR7 wheels.

Hmm. They look alright but, why use a 17x7 in the rear? A 7" up front maybe on a 88 but not in the back. IMO at least go 8" or 8.5" in the rear using a 18" rim.

Thanks for the input... I am really a rookie when it comes to fitting Wheels, and my conern is getting it to fit without sticking out. Does teh majority out there think the 18 x 8.5 will fit without any issues? I have a 2 inch drop all the way around. The car is an 86 GT. Those wheels do come in the 18" sizes in bigger widths.

Any one skilled with photo shop that can give a preview?
