Default Perfect rim size?

I have a 2000 SS with black out GTS tail light covers, and my headlights should be shipping soon, the car is white with 15% tint all around. I've been thinking about investing in some black 5 spoke rims, but I'm not sure what size to get. I live in Birmingham, Alabama and we have pretty rough roads over here, I want low profile tires but I'm afraid my rims will be cracked within the first month or so if I were to get 22's.. Maybe 20's? What size would you guys recommend?

1st pic) I bought my Monte w/the Chrome 245/45x22s on her. She Looked Good but I live in New Jersey. The Road here Suck-ith!!! They Ate my Tires and Chewed up my Rims.
2nd pic) I bought 245/45-18s, great improvement on these Jersey Roads. I say if you drive on Tire eating roads, 18s and 245\45 tires is the way to go!!!
