Those are great lookin' wheels, but you may want to double check the specs before you purchase them. I looked at those wheels when I was in the market for a new set and the only I could find in the 115mm pattern had a +5mm offset, and the 4.5" pattern had a +30mm offset. Neither will fit properly on your Monte...or at least that is what I was told. That (and the price) is what changed my mind. You need a wheel that is in the +40mm offset range give or take a couple of mm. I'd just hate to see you drop all that coin on a set of wheels that won't fit your car.

The original 5 spoke diamond cut wheels that come with the High Sport option are 16" or 17" (depending on year) by 6.5 with a 115mm bolt pattern and +52mm offset. If you want to keep the wheel inside the wheel well the smallest amount of offset is +40mm. That is what my wheels are and they parallel the lower portion of the wheel well. Anything less than +40mm the wheel will stick out past the fender well. Anything greater than +52mm and you run the risk of the tire rubbing against the struts. An offset of +52mm will put the wheel in the same position as the factory specs.
