Default Help me decide which rims to put on my Monte Carlo

I have 2 questions really.
1.Any good websites you guys would recommend buying rims from? I have 17 inch rims and yes, they're stock.
2.Which would look better on my car:Chrome,Black,or a mixture of the two rims? Heres a pic of my car at my old job.I'll upload more tommorrow when I go to work.

www.wheelsnext.com is a good site and i think black but that is my opinion bud go with what makes you happy, cause with the color yellow black or chrome will go with it and stand out

take a look at this site, you can put different wheels on your car, and even make them spin. You'll get some good ideas, but I'm not sure I'd buy there, kinda pricey.

I would say go with chrome because i have never been a fan of the bumblebee look on yellow cars.

Just keep the size under 20". After that you start to loose alot of handling.

If you drive it a lot, go with 17's or 18's. The price goes up as the size goes up, but the ride quality goes the other direction! I like my 18's.
You sure about 17's on your '02? I thought they didn't put them on until the S/C cars in '04.
