It's a new and upcoming company that Chet knows from way back when he was with Axis Wheels. I will post more information once I get them. In the meantime...........the HP Evos are similar rims.........don't know if you remember but I was the one who started the craze about the HP Wheels. Now almost everyone is running with them.......they are nice rims!!!! ------------------

Nothing looks as good as gold wheels on a burgundy Fiero in my opinion... You can't really tell in this picture but mine are brushed aluminum and gold. Totally custom!!! Unless you own a Chrysler, and then they are just stock wheels.  This picture shows the wheels a little better, but the car is dirty.

You sure did. You also got some 17" exel e-2s from wheelmax. I like the 17" front 18" rear too. You must have lied to them what car you wanted them for because they absolutely refuse to sell them to me unless I tell them the correct car they say they fit.

Thanks... I did the gold with chrome lip sceme to mock the original look. Since the car was my Dad's car before he died, I wanted to also honor his choice when he bought the car. Here's a picture of the car in the original stages.

Where are you buying this set of wheels anyway and why won't they sell it to you? Doesn't make any sense to me. I'm running 18's front and back now. This was when it was 17 front and 18 rear..............  This is with 18 front and back....................................  ------------------ http://members.cardomain.com/koolflip[This message has been edited by kooljess (edited 07-19-2007).]

I actually bought it back in November... Just didn't bring it home till a few weeks ago. I sold the T-top back in January so I was Fiero-less (at home at least) for quite a while. I loved my T-tops but I have to tell you, I am really enjoying the solid roof on this car. It just feels solid! Of course, I sold the T-top because I wanted a car to modify. Now I have several other projects in front of this one so it will probably be still mostly stock for the Coast Run.

Kooljess, those wheels look amazing. I love the lip of the rears. Just curious, what offset are the front and rears?

These wheels are wicked sweet! Great job. Kooljess or anyone else if they know, do G Boyz Custom Wheels & Accessories have a web site or a catalog they can mail out to me at least? I tried a search and came up with nothing.

the louvers were made by Hammond, but discontinued back in the early 1990's. I found mine on ebay thanks to Fiero1Fan. They are very rare. Expect to pay a lot for them. I think I spent $500 in a bidding war, but I would have easily dropped over $1000.00 for them. Dave

You will need coil overs in the rear to fit this rims..............I think you will need coil over pretty much once you go to the 18x9 set up. ------------------

FWIW, they've got them in 17x7 and 17x8. Don't know what you were looking for, however. Coming from Tire Rack, BTW.

HP Racing discontinued the Evo 18x9 in the 5/100 bolt pattern months ago (except in black). That really pissed me off, but I settled on the 18x8". Their website is not updated, but they'll tell you when you call them. Dave [This message has been edited by bmwguru (edited 07-26-2007).]

Some very nice looking wheels on everyone's FIEROS!!!
Randomtask -
The tires on KoolJess's car are Falkens 452 his set-up is 18 X 8 front with 38 offset on 225/40/18 and 18x9 back with a 35 offset on 255/35/18 with coil overs. I wanted my car wih exactly the same stance as his car, so that's what I have. As far as getting 18 X 9 wheels, if you like the style wheels I have, you can contact Tavis at Monarch Wheels directly at (714) 521-3888. He can hook you up..............tell him Chet at Fieros West sent ya!!!

That would probably be AZA E-2s. Just make sure you don't tell them it's for an '88 or they'll probably hangup on you. Been there, done that. That would be AZA Z-2s, It's Exel E-2s. [This message has been edited by Fierari (edited 07-27-2007).]
