Default question about rims

Well guys im close to getting rims and now that i have the money im torn between getting some 20s OR these factory 18s i can get a set real cheap for off a friend who took them off his impala. I like how they look I just dont know if I should save money and maybe add other things to my monte carlo or just go for the 20s. I like my car to look nice but its my daily driver and im never going to car show it or try to race with it so. any opinions?

I don't really care for my stock wheels so I'd suggest looking for a different set of 18" wheels.

I'd go with the Impala wheels. I like them personally. And I think 20" wheels are to big IMO.

The Impala wheels are nice, but stock tires are 235/50/18 and you'll rub your back struts. You'll have to get 235/45/18 tires for it.
