Hi `Joe, personally I liked your Monte with the orignal rims since your S.S. only has about 1K miles on it, but I understand your need to upgrade. Nitto's Performance tires do have super reviews & a highly rated performance tire. Wish you many safe & happy miles in your SuperSuperSuper `Monte

In my humble opinion, I'd love to see the rim's with a S.S. center cap to set your new rims `off

'Space makes a good point from the purist viewpoint about retaining the original wheels, but your choice of aftermarket wheels look good. As Mr Grizzly Mint mentioned, the painted hub/spokes accent the HS package nicely.

Thanks all!
Space,
I like the original rims but wanted larger/wider ones and a wider tire. I tried to keep the style somewhat close to original. I need to work on lowering the rear of the car now. The center caps would be nice with SS. Know where I can get some???

Hi `Joe, I don't know the diameter of your present center caps, but below is the E-Bay link with a variety of caps to check out to see `if you like any...
SS center caps | eBay <~Click 2 Explore
p.s. Can you notice the handling/ride difference with 18 inch rims & Nitto tires ?
p.s. Ran one of your tires in2 space novice photo chop attemps to see what they may look like ?
* Note, Please blur your eyes to get a better idea

Thanks all..
Space...I will check out the link for the SS center caps. I just went out and looked that them and my factory rim center caps may fit if they don't sell.
I do notice a difference in handling on the twisty country road I drive dailly. Not a big difference but it's there....thx
