I'm sure everyone just like myself sees the question "what size rims?" Even I am not sure if I'm going to put 17's or 18's on my car... This thread is not about what will fit. It is about what looks right? I've seen a lot of really nice cars with aftermarket rims. So if you have aftermarket rims, please post a picture of them here. Also please note rim size, tire size, if the car is dropped at all, and if you have had any clearance issues. That way everyone can get an idea of what certain sizes look like on the fiero. Thanks!

17 inch TSW trackstars. 8 inches wide with 225 series rubber all around. I love them and would highly recommend the 17's. The cost between 17 and 18 inch rims jumps considerably for both rims and tires.

Seriously, this is one of the most-discussed things on this forum.
Simply go to the search option and type in "Rims" and you will be able to spend all day looking at photos and threads of cars with aftermarket rims.

Good Luck.

Here are mine with Konig Tantrums & Yokohoma ES100 - 215/45 on 17x7" rims front, and 235/45 on 17x8" rims rear. I chose this combo because it matched the OD of the stock tire size.

Yep! There's another white GT on here with the chromed version also.

I'm not sure, but I don't think these are available anymore.

These are 18"s all around.. My tires are, on the other hand, 215/40/18 front and 225/45/18 rear... The offsets are 40mm for the front with a 1.5" lip and the rears are 32mm with a 2" lip

My ride is dropped a little --- maybe 2"

They were on it when I bought the car. Don't really know much about them. (Apparently) Scion TC wheels... 17" ... stock suspension. Looks like a 4x4, but I can't drop it at all (wouldn't be able to get in the driveway without scraping the nose).

I don't know about them being "great rims".

Heavy pieces of **** in my opinion; an unsprung weight nightmare that I wouldn't recommend to anyone who cares about handling.
Because of their mass, they're skittish over bumps. More so than other wheels with low-profile tires (the low profile doesn't help either).

with a photo edit future (maybe) lower paint.

the rims are CenterLine. they need a large hunk of Alum. for an adapter to work out
the offset and bolt pattern difference. came on the car at purchase.
stock '87 Mera wheels are the Lace style OEM Fiero rims, painted to match the org. ordered Mera color.
these look good in my opinion. kinda old school..15" front and 16" in rear.
later

Something about those wheels, and the black roof really reminded me of an Acura NSX. Really nice look to it.
