I liked the writing on those wheels better too, but it still beats the crap out of my ride, which doesn't even have any wheels on it right now!!

Just from the photos I've seen here, It almost seems like you really need to go 1 inch bigger in the back to fill up the wheel well space. I LIKEY!

This thread got me thinking about new rims again.. I've been considering these:
nice rims, relatively light, decently priced, and I think they'd look nice on a fiero

These are my temps until I get the money to get the ones I really want.
Here are the ones I dream about but are too expensive.
Here are the ones I'll be getting in the end. I really like these too.
This is how they should look.

I been looking everywhere for the correct offset.
I was offerd a set of 19"x8,5" wheels with 225x35-19 front, and 255x30-19 rear.
The wheels have 35mm offset.
The prize is right, but only if i can use them on my 87-GT.

It is a 91-94 Lumina Euro, not a Z34. As for the exact year, no realy way of knowing that with just what we see.
