Hi Jennifer,
It's a difficult personal choice, but I like them both
You have a Sweet Look'in Monte Carlo,
What did you get the trophy for ?
I've seen several 20's on Monte's, but I'm sure a member withmore
knowledge on tires/rims will answer your question.
Please keep the forum updated & submit pic's
on your selection of therims installed : )
Look forward to your futureposts.
EnJoy your Awesome ride.

Personally, I don't like the look of 20" inchers. (I've also heard of suspension issues with 20" wheels) To me, you only see the rim, and not the car itself. Just too overpowering for my taste. The wheels look great, but IMHO 18" would look much better.

One thing I learned after getting my rims: You gotta clean them thangs! The more little nooks and crannies and dips and cutouts, etc, the harder and more time consuming it is to clean them and the more chance of rust and corrosion building up.

I don't like either of those rims, honestly, but I guess you weren't asking my opinion on that were you? As for the size, you only gave us one measurement, in order to give you good info we would need to know the width you're gonna get as well as the tire size.

I'm partial to my stock rims - I just think they set off the car just right, I'm not into the Bling especially 20 inch rims. I do tons of car shows with my car and I think people appreciate the stock look better.
