lol no i'm not dissing 16s, i'm just saying that now that i'm use to how my 17s on my car i dont think i could downgrade to a smaller size rim ya know, it would totally trip me up lol
see i didnt think they came 16s from the factory but i wasnt 100% sure either way. well also the supercharged model montes only came with 17s but i think you could get either aluminum or chrome

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??

I remember you saying you're getting yours done custom. Should look great. Please post pics when they're done. 
If they're the same as factory, the bolt pattern should be 115mm. Not sure about the backspacing.
I hate creamed chrome. Sorry, that's creamed corn. :p Seriously, is there a good way to keep the chromed Intimidator rims from peeling? Or is it just something you'll have to accept whether you like it or not? And, would getting them re-chromed professionally last longer?

Keep them clean and waxed and sealed so they stay nice, or just don't drive! LOL Chrome looks pretty but it does tend to break down. They are very high maintenance. Alot of times it starts peeling from the inside or back where you can't notice it at first, ummm like my Caragar SS rims I had on my old Camaro....live and learn

DANG!!
Sure wish I had the cash for these wheels.
But with running up @ down I-75 all the time to MI and back, plus I forgot the pay the yearly premium on the '57s right now I am hurting.
These wheels would come in VERY handy as spares for the '03 Pace car.

It also depends on how well the Chrome job was. My fiance bought a brand new 05 Saleen Mustang which came with chrome rims and they were staring to bubble and that car hardly went anywhere - and didn't see drop of rain and the car was parked in a semi climate controlled garage. Go figure. Like I said before, I think my rims held up extremely well. And it probably would be cheaper to replace the rim than to try and get it re-chromed.
