I have 2 sets of pretty nice 17" wheels, need some opinions on which look better on my car.

These are the rims that came with the car, they are pretty nice.

These are the rims that I bought for a previous fiero and just put them on to see what they look like. I may like them better, they show off the (small) brakes and painted calipers and springs.


And here are a few more pictures I took, just for fun



Thanks!

Hey madcurl, you got pix of your car + rims? The sig looks a little too photoshopped to see the "look' thanx

Thanks again!

The rims are Hypersilver Excel BK-7s, you can find them on the wheelmax.com website. I kinda overpaid for them but its not wheelmax's fault. I saw them on special, really liked them but I didn't like the cheap 205s they came with. The color was a $60 option and the tires were a $400 upgrade to Sticky ZR rated Toyos, which by the way are awesome! They ended up costing me around $1100 US. By the time I got them they cost $1750 Canadian with GST and duty.... ouch.

I'm thinking of chopping my springs before summer sometime. For those who have cut their front and rear springs, how long does it usually take? The car isn't lowered at all yet.

Thanks for the positive remarks!

Thanks everyone. The 7 spoke wheels are definitly staying on now.

Here is a better pic of the other rims, the picture I included isn't very clear. They are nice rims, they just don't suit the car as well as the Excel's.


Thanks again.

I actually really like the first set. If you sell them, let me know what you're asking. I wasn't planning on buying any soon, but I've been keeping an eye out.

Don't think you want them for your performance machine bryson. They feel probibly 5 pounds heavier than the 7 spoke rims each.
