For 22's they do fit really well, the whole time I made my previous comment, I was thinking 20's! But that may changer mind on how big I want my new wheels, I bet if they were machined, they will look badass, but good work anywho =]

thanks for all the nice words.

i paid $850 for them with brand new tires with the 'nipples' still on them.
the rims were used, but near perfect condition.I fell in love when i saw them

and nooooo, of course not!i would hate to have wheels sticking out of the wheel well and i would never lift the monte!lol

after hearing it rub a few times, i decided to inspect the tires to see if the fender was biting pieces off the tires, but no, tires still look good.

I'm not a big wheel fan either, but at least you did it tastefully. I like a little more rubber between my wheels and the ground though, also, with the bigger tires, you're going to through your speedometer off by a bit.

this, but only if they're bigger than a certain size, you can go with 22's and have the same overall size as the stock 16 or 17 with the rubber and not throw it off one bit

I almost bought a set last year, used in really good condition, with new tires for 560!really cheap!i put them on the monte to see how theyd look, and they stuck out of the wheel well, and thats what kept me from buying the other ones.

It is ironic how i have never seen these rims around in the city, as soon as i get them, i see a white 07 monte SS with the same exact rims, same color!i was like what the heck -__- that was my original plan, to get an 06/07 SS with 22s, but the wallet didnt allow it lol. but still, how many 19 year old students can say they have a monte carlo SS with 22s?clean title!lol (no help from parents) lol
