Default Wheels for my 2006 LTZ

Hey guys, F35 again. I need some opinions on wheels. I cannot find any I like for my LTZ. I don't care for the stock wheels on the SS. they are fine they are not me. I have a few that I'm looking at but I need some opinions. The American Racing AR896 is good but should it be machined with the athracite or chrome plated. Next is the Maverick from American Racing. Again Machined or chrome. I am sure about going with 18". The car is silverstone in color. Please guys be honest. I've got thick skin.

Check out wheelfire.com i think they have the best deals on rim and tire packages. If you search by vehicle make and model and it says that the wheel doesn't fit your car, give 'em a call and ask because the site finds wheels for your car according to the 5x115 bolt pattern to the mm, although my wheels' size are 5x114.3 so there's some leeway within couple of milimeters. But if your stuck between the two id get the mavericks because the other ones look a little too much like the stock five spoke wheels.

hey aintnunbutapenut, I checked out wheelfire.com. Man that was a cool site thanks. I still didn't see anything I liked. Out of 457 wheels 0. I'm weird like that. The monte carlo body flows. the isn,t a straight edge on it. I think the wheels should be the same way. I don't want to put a wagon wheel on a stallion.

I bought the AR villains from tirerack...I think they look pretty good, maybe should have gone with 18's though?

Monte Carlo 3831 they look great. Are you satisfied as far as the way they ride? I'll keep lookin guys. I really appreciate the input. Most forums people start arguing about opinions. Seems like I have found a forum with adults instead of children. Feels really good. Y'all have a great week.

thanks, yes they ride ok and we are a good bunch of people here, not much arguing, opinions are like a--------, everyone has one. Keep on searching, it took me a little while to make the decision. I wanted to Dale Jr monte wheels that were on the 04 montes but at the time couldn't find any.......
