The unsprung weight on a vehicle is the weight of the vehicle parts not supported by its suspension. Typically the wheels, axles and the differential. These are, in effect, in direct rigid contact with the road. The rest of the vehicle is held up by the suspension. Too much unsprung weight causes problems with stability.

Will wheels from a s10 fit a Pontiac fiero?

No. The S-10 is a 5x4 bolt pattern. The Fiero is a 5x100 pattern. Additionally, placing a wheel meant for a truck onto a car would not be a wise idea, as if it's a wheel meant for a truck, you would be placing a wheel onto a car that has different inertia forces and areas of unsprung weight.
