There is also Discount Tire. They are local. I bought some Koenig rims for my 05 Mustang there.

 

Tire rack is OK, but mine came from Discount Tire. I ordered them. Took a week to get them. Tire Rack will only show you what they have in stock.

Personally, I'd just do a Dogpile search of chrome or silver Monte Carlo wheels, and find WHAT you like, then contact either of the 2 places above and find out how much and how long.

Another thing, there ARE wheels made in the USA, such as my Eagle Alloy chrome 077s. I paid $1,400 with tires out the door for mine. With locks.

 

I had those AE 077s on my 02 GTP. They were nice and fit well. Too bad it appears they've stopped making them. I may look at what AE & American Racing have to offer.

 

Looking at Tirerack.com...how about these for $140 each:

Perhaps with a set of 235/50/18 Nitto Extremes for good measure. $1250 shipped to my door for the complete balanced set. Good or no?

 

i have these in 19" (i had to fold the wheel well lips with the subs in back and eibach lowered)

(i would paint the inserts diff colors to match the car and the day )

 

Look nice to me, but it's ultimately up to you. I think I spent about 9-10 months looking before I even had the money and kept switching what I wanted the whole time. Mine ended up at about $1800 to my door ready to be put on with the TPMS installed.

 

Those Elbrus wheels are nice. I was looking at those for a little bit, and considering the other set of Elbrus wheels TireRack offers. They have a silver face and black inside the spokes.

I think if you want the rear wheels to meet the fender, instead of going with a wider wheel just try looking for a different offset and have the same size wheels on both front and back. Unfortunately this will make rotating your tires a lot harder... I'm happy with my choice. My wheels cost $515 delivered and another $160 to have mounted and balanced with TPMS installed. My wheels are a lot more expensive than that normally so I jumped on the deal. I'm still using the stock RS-A tires for now though to save some money.

 

I like your idea of just using the stock Goodyears RS-As on the new wheels. Mine only have 21k on them and plenty of tread. My plan was to have a "summer set" and a "winter set", but if I can save $600 by not buying new tires and use the stock TPMS, the new wheels suddenly aren't that expensive...Thanks, Man

 

Exactly! I will probably by some winter tires for the stock wheels and get new tires next summer or something. It was great to save a little money up front though. I mean my tires only have 18K miles on them. No need to get new ones yet. Even if the RS-A's do suck. lol
