Not to argue with anyone. But there are no 16" junior rims. The dale jr/tony stewart rims only came in 17". Same with the chromed Intimidator rims; only 17". The 16" diamond cut rims came from the factory only aluminum.

here is a set of 17's for $500, pretty sweet, not sure if the center caps are included though....

Set of 4: 17" BLACK Wheels - CHEVY IMPALA by OE Racing

what's better chromed or aluminum? I've heard the chromed wheels peel after awhile??

What is the bolt pattern and backspacing? Any ideas. Love to have em. Must know these before purchasing. Sorry I found the wheel fitment thread. Looks like they will not fit my first gen monte.

Thanks,
Donald

Yeah, this guy reproduces the polished aluminum, the chrome and the Jr. Edition style but no center caps.

Technically the Chromed rims are the aluminums that are chrome plated. I'm guessing if you live in the south where it doesn't snow or use salt they probably would hold up a lot better. It took my wheels 4 years to start peeling through rough IL winters. (Only one wheel is peeling - started with one blister and the salt this past winter creamed it).

Thanks for the explanation Amy, and I guess the center caps are not included from what Lisa posted earlier!
