BMWGURU... THOSE HP'S LOOK GOOD. I was looking at those , Work, AZR, and Piaa. The only thing is that they didn't have different offsets for the front and back and I wasn't sure if they would clear my 13" rotors...
Get that thing painted... Tell the body shop,"Look, it's summertime, I want to cruise, and now I have to wait for you?" Your FIRED!
Nippon Racing Wheels have a nice wheel too.... called "wishbone". It's kind of hard to find but that's what it is al about right?.... Who's the original one. No trends wanted. The wishbone is a split 8 - 10 spoke but the fingers look like spider legs that mean business... 18's are ideal if they have them but they don't have custom offsets...

Thanks! HP Racing makes nice rims and they aren't expensive. They stopped making the 18x9 in a 5/100 for the rear, so it threw me off for the tires I wanted to fit back there. I am currently looking for another body shop to paint my car. Every time I mention Fiero they blow me off. Even after I tell them I can get all the trim clips or whatever they need. The sad part is I sent the body shop about a car a week in referrals and this is the way I get paid back. He's too busy. That's irony. Dave
Nothing fancy, I needed 16's minimum for bigger brakes. These were about $140 after the nearly new tires were installed. Wheels were about $125, paint for wheels was about $15 and tires and mounting free. I haven't balanced them yet. That should add about $35, but worth it. I'm not putting much into rims until the car is painted. They are from a Beretta
from a "GTZ" beretta =] Those are nice on your fiero.
Somehow, I missed this thread. Anyway, my new wheels are Nippon F-2 17x7" with General Exclaim 215/45-ZR17 all around. I like being able to rotate my tires.
My wheels, with tires, valve stems, and 40PSI of air, weigh about 35 lb each.
Not what i wanted originaly but i got a REALLY good deal on them and now they have grown on me. I wanted a black rim with polished lip, but its OK because i am putting some nice black 17X8 and 17X10.5 deep dish rims on my V8 RX7.
Just got these mounted last month. The fronts are 18" x 225 the rears 18"x265. The rims have a stainless steel lip. The wheels got a lot of interest at one of the local shows. ------------------ 1986 FieroGT now a 4.9
Any day that you remain above ground is a good day!

The HP Evos are a great choice for a Fiero in my opinion. I've had mine on the car for nearly a year now and they never fail to prompt a "WOW, those are great looking wheels" from everyone.
Mine came with the "flat" center caps which forced me to use a die grinder to remove approx. 1/2 inch from the axles to get them to fit. (A little tricky to bevel the threads back to allow the axle nuts to go back on easy, but it worked out fine)
I noted that the HP Evo wheels above actually have an extended center cap!? Is that from HP? Sure would have saved me a lot of work....

When did you get the Evo rims? I purchased mine a few months back and they stopped making the 18x9 rims...they only make the 18x8 in 5/100. I really wanted the 9" for the rear of my Fiero. Dave

Here's my buddy's Chet car taken at WestFest 2007 with the new Monarch Wheels (similar to my wheels HP EVO Lightning) 18x8 up front with 225/40/18 and 18/9 in the rear with 255/35/18. Car is lowered 1.5" by coil overs in the rear with KYB shocks and lowering springs up front with KYB shocks (from West Coast Fiero). Labor by Roy, Chet and Jess.

Where can you find out more about the Monarch Wheels? They don't show up in a Google search at all.
