I don't like any of them, I like the old style that came on the 00-05s (the one's I have) and the 17" chrome ones

Yep! Both of the styles the Space Dood has shown in his post are the GM accessory wheels for the Monte, and the Impala. The quality is excellent. I've seen a lot ofaftermarket wheels, and I really don't think they come close to the quality the GM's are. Another reason I chose the true GM wheel was that since I purchased them with the car, the regular 3 year warranty applies to them, and here in Canada, you can run into some crummy road conditions in the winter.

By the way, the rims on your Monte look real good. Are they 18's or 17's. I don't like the look of the 20's, they seem to just overpower the car, and all you see are the wheels.

The wheels I show in the signature pic are Eagle Alloy chrome 077's, 18x8".
I think 20's look great, but I drive too many miles for them, as the tire price goes up dramatically as the size goes up, and the tire life goes down, multiplying the tire cost. I'm happy with the 18's for the summer and the chrome "diamond cut" 17's for the winter.

The Speedsters are my 2nd choice right behind the Nitrous series. It would be a very tough call.

yes the speedsters are very nice, but i believe they are stoping production of them, i know they're not available for the mustangs anymore, i sold a set of 20's to a girl here and she got them because of the fact nobody else has them or gets them very easily around here

i also like the

dub dirty dogs
and the dub esinem's all in 20's
