Default Looking for wheels on 6th gens!

So, I'm far away from doing this, but it's on my mind and I am trying to make up my mind. I want to ditch my stock 16" wheels at some point (get some nice 5 or 10 spoke wheels).

I want to keep the tire diameter the same as what it is now, but go to a bigger rim. I'm thinking about 17's at the moment.

I was wondering if anyone can share pics of there 6th gen Monte showing off some wheels going from 17's and up? I figure if I can see what others have done and what it looks like, it will help me in determining what I really want in the end.

Thanks gang!!

My goal in the end is to get a wider rim and keep the same wheel diameter (so I don't have to worry about the speedo and such needing re-calibrated) and as such, less sidewall.

BTW - I still like your rim swap! The stock ones we have just scream "get rid of me"....
