with those spokes and large diameter wheel i hope you plan on doing a brake upgrade, if not theyre going to look silly. my brakes look absurd with a 18" wheel i can only imagine a 20 with even thinner spokes.

I don't even know if these wheels will really fit the car but a brake upgrade would be a good idea, especially if the space is there to do it. I've got a couple more years at least before I get serious about doing anything with wheels.

THIS IS A PHOTOSHOPPED PIC of the Vossen VVSCV5 wheel on my car and I must say I'd love these if it's possible. I have yet to really find a nice, all black wheel that I like; I don't want any machined parts, just all charcoal, graphite, or black in color. Not opposed to chrome but the black works; would be a mean look. Also thought about going a midtone on the factory wheels but something a bit wider would be nice. I don't know, like I said if I do wheels it's still a few years out. Just playing around with ideas right now and seeing what's currently available.

I like the look but a brake upgrade would be necessary

Would definitely be a head turner. Who knows though, when the time for new wheels comes around your tastes might change and another type of wheel would be "IT".

Yes, true and true. I agree.

Yep, I always do my research before I buy. It took me a good six months to figure out what parts I wanted to use when I lowered the car. Thinking maybe going with a set of aftermarket wheels when I get my next set of tires so, since I just got a new set of tires installed a couple months ago, I've got some time. Thanks Space!
Hey Matt,

I didn't see this thread until today. Wow, I really like those wheels too. Its funny because I was originally looking at the Vossen VVS084's but those ones are just as nice! Im surprised you found a picture with them on a Monte too!

Anyway, mine do sit out a little further than they did with the stock wheels. They are actually sitting flush with the fender. The 9 inch will obviously stick out a bit more but I doubt it would look stupid.

It looks like that Monte with the Vossen's had a brembo brake kit.

Hi `Matt, sometimes you just got 2 make `space > Where's there's a will, there's a way ..>You may have to mod & do some fabrication (LOL)

Yes, a Larger Brake upgrade would be a good investment...
p.s. I love your Photo Shop > Looks Super, but I still do like your factory rim's....Thanks for keeping your Monte Family updated
