How my Fiero used to look:





And how it looks now!






For those who are interested, the rims are OZ Chrono Evolutions.
17 x 7 front, and 17 x 8 rear.  

The tires are Dunlop SP Sport FM901.
215/45R17 front, and 235/45R17 rear.

I've never liked the look of the stock rims.  Lace wheels just don't look right on a sports car!

  I like. The new wheels are a definite improvement over the lace, they look a lot lighter. How do you find your handling and ride?

Thanks guys!  I've had my eyes on these rims for over a year now.  Took that long to squirrel away the money for them.  Grin

As for the ride, it's a bit harsh, but I'm used to it.  Ever since I had the lowering springs and poly bushings installed, the ride has been pretty rough.  But it's not obscenely so.  As for the handling, I haven't pushed it too hard yet, so I can't really say.  It feels better, but until I get to run another soloII day, I won't be able to say.

Graeme:  You may be surprised to know that she's quite dirty right now.  Fine layer of dust (from my underground parking garage) is all over the car, along with a few bug strikes on the front facia.

BTW:  I forgot to mention, I also uploaded some high res pictures which can be viewed from:

Mmmmm pretty!!  Now...to keep them clean.  A quick wipe after every drive both inside and out if you can get into the habbit.  But I mean there wheels, you're suppose to use them right?  I took my wheels off last week and cleaned them finally, haven't scrubbed and polished them that well since I got them....now just to wash the car and clean the interior to match.  Grin
