Default Rims

I got some rims priced out at a couple of different companies. Got them to look at 10 different rims that would fit my monte. The best ones that i found, that i like and they say would fit were the boss 318.



Its black chrome. they come in 17 x 8. I was wondering if you guys know if these would infact fit on a 98 monte carlo. cause if so, i'll be getting these real soon then.
btw price is 195 a rim.

Ohh and I'll probably be looking at getting some yokohama avid h4s. I'll be switching to a 245/45r17 most likely.

Looks nice, but will this work with the tire pressure sensor?

You have no tpm system in your car. What you have is abs, hubs with spped sensors. The computer monitors the rpm of each corner, and will tell you a tire is low of the rpm increases. Notice it doesnt tell you which one, nor individual pressures.

Yes, in an 06 SS it gives you the individual PSI for each tire.

Wayne is trying to get the point across that only the 06 & 07 Montes have the individual tire pressure sensors. 2005 and earlier use the ABS system to determine if a tire is low. Farfig has a 1998.

Nice rim btw. Should look nice on your Monte.

Yeah i got a 98, which means no tire monitoring at all. Well, except manual. Haha.

I did a quick photoshop of it. the picture was taken at shushwap lake in the bc interior.
the rims don't look dark enough to me, but its not bad.
