Looks good, back looks like it needs a drop of some sort maybe the heater hose? It may be just the picture though. Nice wheels

hmmm..... i dont know. The 70's style bird on the center caps don't work for me. I don't really like the rims to much either, just my opinion, its your car if you like it that's all that matters.

That's why I put the wheels on my car, and not yours.

I think you need a big firebird on the hood to complete the look.

Dude, notice the wink and jester hat? I was kidding.
I've seen enough threads on here to know most people who reply to these threads are the people who don't like them. It's all good.

Hell, I also own a Fiero. I'm used to people talking crap about my car.

Didn't realize you where joking. Fieros are bad ***, i'v always wanted an 88 GT, and throw like a 3800 s/c or maybe even an LSX in there.

Fieros are pretty bad ***, i think they blow stock and are nothing but show but with a swap or some modding they can be a really nice car

Like the rims, but not on that car. They make it look a lot older than it is, but maybe it would look decent if it was lowered.

It looks pretty good. Now lower it to finish it off.

I like the idea of the wheels, but they're just missing something IMO. Maybe a little more definition in the center area and more of a lip and they'd look a lil more modern - like the billet versions they offer minus the ridiculous pricetag.

Sorry for the confusion. I tried to make it obvious, but sarcasm and humor don't come across on the internet very well.

My Fiero is an 88 Formula, so it's mechanically the same as a GT, but without the sexy body panels. It's all stock, with a bone crushing 135 HP! It's still fun to drive even though it's so SLOW. I haven't decided what will replace the 2.8 when it finally dies. I've seen some insanely cool engine swaps in Fieros. Getting the engine in there is the easy part. Getting a transmission to get the power to the ground and not explode - that's the tricky part.

But, back to the TA. I expected a lot of people wouldn't like them. When pics have popped up of them in the past, they've always gotten a lukewarm reception, but I dig the retro look. I'm not trying to go for a 70's look - but just add a little touch of old school look to it. I wanted to replace the OEM 16" wheels and wanted something that looked uniquely Pontiac.

That and since so few people are running these, I figure some more pics will help anyone else avoid making the same mistake I did.

I like em. I think they need to be a little bigger however (18"s or so), but I like the look over all.

my honest opinion. looks horrid. they would look great in 18 or 19 all around and lowered. Now they just look like chrysler intrepid wheels.
