Looks really good. Car looks dangerous and sits a lot nicer. I Love the white monte ss too.

Anything over 20 is too big, not anything over 18s. Im biased but hey. Between the stock wheel I had and what I am running now, there is only a quarter inch or less difference.

A lot of cars today come with 20's from the factory so I don't believe wheels that size are disproportional. Anything bigger to me doesn't look right but I guess it's all a matter of choice and I'm satisfied with mine.

Yup I would be happy too, it looks great. The MC has a huge wheel well anyway. Enjoy !

Wow, spent the better part of an afternoon going through this post.
I like them all.
But even if I didn't, I still got to respect the work thats gone into some of them.
Some are truly rolling works of art.
These customs cars (and even the nice import tuners) reminds me of the original hot rodders back decades ago.
They were always met with critizism for doing their own thing too.

Thanks for the great post!

Those are perfect, I don't see how they are too big, you still have a decent amount of tire on the wheels, but it doesn't look like a truck.

Hey Mitch, go put some Buick rims on a fast car.

When u cut up these cars to put the BIG rims on them u only mess them up i kno a couple of guys with 24s, 26s and 28s on their Montes,Grand Prixs,Centurys,Impalas almost any fwd GM car they look crazy sometimes,i just hate how they look all cut up and butchered especially they look even more dumb when they put the factory wheels back on it just take the value away from the car and nobody wants to buy it when you try to sell them
