So has anyone found 16" or 17" wheels that look similar to the GT cross-lace wheels? I really like the look of the factory wheels, but would like to upgrade to 17". I found some modular wheels, but the look too much like luxo-barge wheels, and their about $500 each! I know Pontiac made them in 16", but not the correct bolt pattern for a Fiero.

Any ideas?

Those look sweet but I wonder how they would look with the Fiero offset if they have it. Also what about cost $$$$?

Yeah, those are the ones. Very close. If it had visible lug nuts, that might give it a better look. With the hub cover, it makes it look too much like a luxury car wheel - to me at least. And, yes, they are about $500 each - but they can custom make them in virutally any size, width, and offset. Would probably look good painted black, with the high polished rim, but I'm hoping to find something quite a bit cheaper. $250 per wheel is expensive IMO, but close to what I'm expecting. Cheaper, of course, would be better.

Prime Wheels has a similar one too for ALOT less $55/each - MODEL 250 or 260 (no photo) are the same, and come in "Fiero size"

Dude! Those could be the ones. I'd still prefer 17s, but 16' is still an improvement.

Where can I get them for $55?

FYI
Also in the 16 inch size they come in both 7 and 8 inch width.

Here's a pic of the Model 260 Prime wheels I bought - only $55 each +s/h
Same specs as Model 250 (discontinued) http://www.primewheel.com/Primecatalog/pdetail.asp?model=250

These are 16"x7" 35mm offset - perfect fit.
