Default Rims for my 2006 Monte Carlo SS

I just bought myself a 2006 Monte Carlo SS, and i am thinking of getting some new customs wheels for my ride. I really like the Dale Earnhardt JR Hustler wheel model in 22'' inch. Spoke with the sales account rep, and they said they would mount my selected tire on them, balance, inject nitrogen into the tires, and shipped them to me ready to install right onto my Monte. Sounds like a good deal for some nice rims. What do you guys think?

ew, not my thing at all.
I don't even like 20's... bought myself new 18s. But I think 20's are the max that can look good on these cars regardless.

I don't think that the 18X8's would be bad at all. Whatever you choose, go for it! The only person whose opinion should matter is YOURS. Even though most members here wouldn't do it to their car, it's important to realize that ultimately the only one who needs to be happy is you. I personally like the rim design, just not the size. Good luck!

I think I would like them in 22's... Just to give it a nice look. To me - the bigger the rim size, the less aggressive and sporty the ride will look. I think the 18"-20" range would be the best to keep it super-sporty (maybe even with a lowering kit????)

Agree with this entire statement...except not a huge fan of the wheel design itself but Greg hit it right on the head, you can't satisfy everyone. btw welcome to the forum!
