My car had Medium Red wheels when I bought it, which I assume was done by Twin Lakes Fiero as they (he?) had been a previous owner. The rears however were pretty beat up along the rim and when I got a chance to get a much-nicer set of black wheels, I jumped on them.

Raydar, I rechecked the RPO's on the car and found, again, the PHO indicating staggered wheels but I also found 19P, which identifies "wheel color, black", so you were spot on with that thought that they started out black. To your point, someone went to a great deal of trouble getting them silver and you absolutely can't tell they were painted. Again, I'll have that rear passenger off this weekend to change the belts and I'll see if they went to the same detail on the back of the wheel. Great call though! As to the lowering, any quick way to tell if that was done?

BTW, I'm generally not a fan of blue (long backstory that I won't bore you with) but I have to say that your signature car looks amazing. Thanks for sharing it.

PMBrunelle, thanks for clearing up the "disguise year", I would hate to look any more ignorant standing around telling a bunch of Fierofiles that I liked the '87 colors and getting that "he is lost as last year's Easter Egg" look.

CSS, once more appreciate the input and education. I'm confident that this is far from the last time I get schooled on this car.

The condition of those wheels indicate well looked after.
