I went to the shop in Chinatown in LA that is selling those wheels. They look amazing, but when test fitted on my '88 GT, they stuck out about an inch past the read fender and about 2 inches in the front. :-(
These wheels may fit perfect on an 88 Mera due to the bodys wider fender lips. Does anyone know the the brand name? They would also look good with gold centers.

Are these the wheels you are talking about? Kyowa Wheels

Yes they are. When they were first posted on ebay a brand name was not listed. Now they show up under the brand name since the auction expired. However, on the site you listed it says they will not fit the 88 Fiero when you use their selector. I wonder why?

Front offset-width way too much to look ok on an 88.

I agree on a stock bodied 88, but my car is a Mera. I would like to find a set locally and see how they look. The 2 and 3 in lip combo may offset the 88's wider front track.
I just cannot get over the 'snowflake" pattern for our cars. They were so hard to clean it seems. That is why I want something "different" for the IMSA. I also had the 5 spokes simular to what you have on one of your cars. I like them pretty well. but having two cars with the same rims....or same stock looking rims just does not appeal to me. What DOES apeal to me? Hell really, I do not have a clue what would look good on the car. Maybe I should sharpen my PS skills(or join a thread)
my car is the red one. I got the 19 x 8 rim/tires for $400. Used, from a neon driver. Love them neon guys. my son got the 18 X 8 motegi's from tirerack. Cost more than $400. I think the 19's are a little flashy, but I got them for car shows. To big, over the top works for car shows.
The ones I really like for a fairly close to stock look are the BBS RX-Rs It's a real crime that they're only available in 19 and 20 inch. I would metaphorically kill to get a black set of these in 16x7s for the front and 17x8.5 for the rear.
I was wondering if anyone thought the above black lace wheels would fit an 88 formula on stock suspension. If you were to get them in 18x8's in the front with a 30 offset and 18x9's in a 30 offset for the rears. I really like the look of the stock rims just wish they were a little bigger. I would prefer 17 inch rims but, This is the closest ones I have seen that look like stock. I have reviewed the offset diagram, but I am still unsure if they will fit and how far they would stick out.
