These are the rims I've been dreaming of since I got the monte. I found these, and they say they're compatible!?!?!?

Is this too good to be true?

why to good to be true $128 a piece? You just have to watch out for the bolt pattern, they are most likely 5x114.3, there are some members that run that pattern and some who say it's bad to run that size? Bolt pattern for our Montes is 5x115...... I have had the same set on both my Montes since I've owned them, they now have winter only tires on them and are on my 99 Z34....

It claims they fit the 6th gen montes, so I'm assuming they have the 5x115 bolt pattern? Otherwise I know it's hard to find these rims for FWD and with the same bolt pattern. I've heard 5x114.3 rims can strip the lug nuts or damage something else.

It can do damage, but I haven't had any to either car I've had them on. If they claim to fit, I'd want to know what the bolt pattern is. When I bought my 06 those were the wheels that were on it and didn't know the pattern until I installed the winter only tires....
