    ew pontiac wheels! I personally highly dislike those. There HAVE been some cars with 16in alloy wheels off Berettas and z-24s and other later cavaliers that looked pretty good.

    the 15x7 fiero wheels are both desirable and rare. Probly one of the most desirable oem style wheels for these cars imo.

    IMO The pontiac wheels are ok if the middle part gets painted black(see Simon's avatar).
    I think the srt type are the best imo. Any of the spoke type wheels would be preferable.
    16" is the best size for cheap tire/good performance.
    H tires can be found for~$65 each new. I'm not looking to go even 130mph, and handling vs ride with a 60mm profile is just right.

    i agree that 16" is the best size for value in performance tires but theres not any 60 series 16s that arent WAY tall for one of these things. IMO. Rarely do i use a tire over 25" diameter if i paid for it.

    for 15s i do think 215/60r15 is the best size for bigger cars on 15s.

    I was afraid of that...them being too tall
    Do you think that 215/60r15 with an H rating will wobble or torque steer excessively under power?
    its that or 205/65 for these flakes I just got...

    I tried Subaru wheels but the offset was way too much, +53 vs. +38. Do you know the details of the wheel dimensions?
