Hmm those aren't too helpful.. one's burgundy instead of red and the other one's got mesh wheels. Maybe I'll have to photoshop it.

The reason I ask is I'm looking at different options for a set of competition wheels to put slicks on.. There aren't a lot that fit the 88 well and have the right width stagger for my tire sizes. I need 7" up front and at least 9" in the back. Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 have all the right dimensions and offsets, and they come in white, anthracite, silver, and black. I'm not a huge fan of silver wheels on a red car, and I have black wheels on my Outback already. Here's the white ones on an Alfa:

Theres a huge difference between a common street car and motorsport livery. To make a passanger vehicle look like a race car is just plain fucking ricer. Trying to compare a fiero to a Formula 1 car is just laughable.

Umm.. this is for a motorsport car. I'm obviously not going to be driving on slicks on the freeway.

Found a pic from an old thread on this forum: phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4939

Looks pretty plain. The gunmetal actually looks better than I thought. Still undecided.

These are the wheels I'm looking at: http://www.teamdynamicsracing.com/pro-r ... race12.htm

Braid also makes some in the right sizes/offsets, but they are pretty much identical to the Team Dynamics ones: http://www.braid.es/wheels/products/com ... _p192.html

There are a few options for some "street" style wheels at places like Discount Tire, in the right sizes (Drag DR-31 for example) but I don't trust that they will hold up well under track use with road racing tires and seriously stiff suspension. The DR-31s, for example, are cheap knockoffs of the Work Emotion CR Kai, and I just don't see how the quality could compare. The real Work wheels, unfortunately, aren't available in 5x100 in the sizes I need.
