14" aluminum "Tech" wheels
« on: January 31, 2019, 07:54:21 pm »
These are the multi-slotted 14" inch aluminum wheels that came on nearly a million Fieros.
They are probably a 7 of 10. A little bit of rash on the very edge, and a little bit of peeling clear coat.
Include very good tires, although one has a slow leak.

Just trying to clear them out of my storage building. Make offer.

These wheels...

My math fails me, but with only 370,xxx Fieros built, 1 million seems optimistic.  However, those weels were on other vehicles, like the Grand Am, IIRC.

That style was on the Grand Am and the Sunbird, but they were without offset.  The centers were flush with the outer rim. Though there was a different offset on the 88 Formula and GT, these FWD wheels weren't used on the Base Coupe, but instead, used the same wheels as the earlier years.

It must be a very joyful thing.  I've heard that most who receive a Brazilian do a lot of screaming.

It's all about the context.

First blonde (in tears) : "How many is a brazilian?"
Other blonde: "Why do you ask?"
First blonde: "I just heard on the news that Two Brazilian people were killed in an accident."   :o

I let my son read that.  He gave me some statistics on Brazil, then told me that a Brazillian is 1 person, and there are only 7 billion people in the world.

Anyway, so these wheels only fit a Fiero?

They will fit any vehicle with a 5 x 100mm bolt pattern.  Beretta, Cavalier, Cimmaron, Grand Am, Skyhawk, PT Cruiser, Scion TC just to name a few.  They will stand out a bit more on the FWD applications.  I think the same wheel style from the Grand Am and Sunbird was a 43mm offset, or at least the same offset as the front wheels of the 88 GT and Formula. 

On my first 85, I wanted lace wheels but couldn't find any at a reasonable price.  When I was picking up the Isuzu transmission at a yard, I saw a pair of Oldsmobile lace wheels that were the same lug pattern and got them.  They didn't have the 1 inch lip like the Fiero wheels, but they didn't scrub on turns.

I had purchased 4 lace wheels from an '87 for a total of $50.  The wheels were dirty, but cleaned up with an hour's work.  Dunno if that was a good deal or not.  I gave the wheels away to free up space, after I sold that Fiero.

Good for him. I'm impressed.

The wheels will fit lots of other GM cars, too. I put a set of them on an 86 - or so - Grand Am, that belonged to a G/F (in a previous life.)
I thought they looked really good with the 1/2" lip, as opposed to the nearly flat face of the stockers.

A blast from the past.
Anybody want these wheels and tires? They won't fit on my car, over the brakes.
Come and get 'em. Can't beat the price.

If you make the pilgrimage down here, I'll even supply adult beverages, soft drinks, or coffee.
