Default Suggestions on wheels!

I am curious on your opinions on some good, clean looking rims on the montes?
Brand and size would be appreciated. Thanks

I have a set of 17's and the first couple of years I loved them. The look the feel everything. But as the years passed I now realized that I should've went bigger. I would suggest putting those tires you have for sale somewhere and get 18's hands down. I went to 19x8.5 wheels and I love love love them and cannot imagine 17's anymore.

Look at the online tire/wheel places to get an idea of what you like. Then I could perhaps see what you like and suggest some things. Tirerack has a ok selection plus they will tell you what fits for sure without worrying.

Simple 5-spoke designs look best of these cars I think.

I like your rims but they discontinued them so they are extremely hard to find...if you know of anyone with those for sale or a pair of oem chrome or machine faced rims can you let me know?

I like a GOOD straight 10 spoke (like my 18" MOda MD8's). My wheels though are on close out and last I knew, less then 3 left at TireRack....

The Eagles that Chibi and a few others have also look REALLY sharp.

THere was a wheel I saw on a '97-'03 Grand Prix I thought would also look sweet on the Monte (I wanna say it would be a 12spoke, which typically I did not like). They have been LONG discontinued but I think they were calls Spades by ACE?? or vice versa....
