I bought a 2006 Monte Carlo last fall and have been very happy with the car

The first thing I did this spring was put new wheels on. I still have to paint the calipers, but I am liking the upgrade. Not saying these are great, but for the price I could not pass them up and I never liked the stock wheels anyways.

 

 

Those look awesome! Not a huge fan of the 06-07 SS stockers.

 

Nice upgrade. I just got new wheels too.

 

So what you gonna do with you OEM rims.... if ur intrested in selling im intrested on buying....

 

I like the new rims much better. Not real crazy about the stock 06/07 SS rims.

What size are the new rims? They look smaller than the stockers.

 

Thanks for the comments

Kid - I agree the lower the better looking, but I think I need all the clearance I have (don't want to bottom out on speed bumps, ramps, parking blocks, etc)

SPRFRK - I put the wheels up on craigslist for $350 and someone with a 2002 impala picked them up within a few days, probably should have asked for more, but I had them on ebay for $400 and got no bids.

Taz - They are also 18", I think they just look smaller because there is so much less material.

 

One other question.

I am probably going to get around to painting the calipers, but the rusty part is the first on my agenda. I think if I did enough research I could identify the part, but if some one more knowledgeable could do it off the top of the head I always appreciate the help.

I don't think it is the brake disc itself (at least I hope not), hopefully it is just a cover or something. I have attached a close up of the back wheel.

 

Nice looking rims. The rusty part you are seeing on the back is the rotor. You can either buy new ones or do alot of sanding and paint them.

 

You could take the rotors off take them somewhere and get the rust glass beaded and then paint the centers so they won't rust again.
