Ah, so you did end up getting those. What tire sizes are you going to use? And where's a pic of the car that they're going on?
Edit: Suggestion on tire size. 225/40 front and 265/35 rear.

HP Racing out of Miami, Fl makes them. I talked to the owner today. You have to buy from one of there dealers. I went to my local dealer Mean Street Motor Sports and they said $995 but I was able to get them off ebay for $685 from spdepot01 There web site is www.thespeeddepot.com

Those rims are bad $$!!! Which pattern size you are using? Everywere I looked for them they didn't list 5x100 (only 5x114). Do they do them in 5x100? If so I'm sorry but I'll probably copy you
Alex, you were the one that got me looking for wheels like that... I saw your car at daytona... and I REALLY liked them.. then found those on www.wheelguyz.com but when I talked with them.. they said they were 18x8s... they didnt say anything about 9 inch wheels.. might have to check with them... ohh- and btw - if you get those in 17s, they are a uni-lug pattern... and 18s are a direct bolt... and the 17 has a 1 inch lip... and the 18 has a 2 inch lip.. on the 18x8.... Looking good! Jason

Thanks I'm looking these for the red car. I want wider at the rear (9" or 8.5" at least). On 7" and 8" I think they may have 5x100 but usually the 8.5" to 9.5" does not come in 5x100. That's what I need to know. I think most lace type of rims look great on Fieros.

Yes they do come in 5x100 both 8 and 9 inches wide. I talk to the owner of HP Racing they don't list 9 on there website but he said he does make them. You have to buy from one of there dealers to get them. I got mine from theSpeedDpot.com. The 8's have a 2inch polished lip and the 9 have a 3inch polished lip.

BTW that is a killer price. Just a RCH around dealer net.
Yes 22.4 pounds both the 8 & 9". I just got them in opened the boxes and put them on the digital scale. I can't weight to get these on my car they look even better than the pictures did.

Those are nice! Can't wait to see a pic of them on your car. Looking into the wheel dilemma myself, but must do a few things to the "project" before I do the wheels.
btw... Thanks for coming up to Pigeon forge last Oct... Missed you and "the crew" at the one in Jan.
