Agreed, the BBS wheels would be my first choice, followed by the AVS Model 5's. What are your plans for the rest of the car? The paint job looks good.

Oh, and leave off that wing. The Fiero's lines are easily disturbed by tacky add-ons like that.

Re: Starting Progress on the Fiero GT.

The wing is stock And the wheels were designed for the Fiero, though they used them on most of the Pontiac line.

Looking great so far! Of the three I'd go with the AVS Model 5's


Anyone looking for more ideas

The BBS rims do look the best, I think the Skyline rims look way too big.

Re: Starting Progress on the Fiero GT.

My favorite car! The red paint suits it very nicely.

BTW How is this kit fitment wise?
