Default Wheel question - Real Easy

I've heard talk about all the different stocker wheels and such, and I don't recall seeing my type of wheel on any of the cars. Is my wheel one of the stock wheels for monte's or from another model. Just wanted some input. Thanks.
(PS - what do you think of them... I'm still undecided... should the be replace.. if so, sooner or later.)

Your wheel is a 2000 -2001 Impala , Monte carlo wheel .. I think they look better on Impala's than on Monte's..

Yes - that's what I have on my LS - GM used these on the Montes from '00 - '03 before shifting over to these for the 2004 LS.

Also, a side note, 2004 is also when GM began painting the lower trim moldings on the front and rear bumper and only leaving the rockers the "charcoal" color

If I were you, I'd upgrade them to the 17" 5 spoke wheels that were used on the supercharged montes...then get bigger tires. The 16" LS wheels / tires just look too small in the wheel wells.

add another vote for the dale jr. wheels. I never was a fan of the earlier version that they put on the ls
