They are ugly :P

And there's no bolt pattern, so I'm not too sure.

225/55/17 is the recommended tire for 17s on a Monte, and those are 215/45/17, so they will also look really thin

Ok thanks for the info. My stock chrome rims are rotting on the inside and leaking. Need to find replacements. I'm going to hate having to put air in them every week once winter hits.

Are all of them rotting?? You could always look into getting them refinished / repaired?

They are all rotting on the inside, the layer in the well is peeling off like paper. Only one of them is leaking air badly though. I didn't know you could get something like that repaired. Is that something a regular shop would fix?

Mine look like the inside of this one, in that last picture.

i would say to take it to a shop that specializes in wheels. i highly doubt that any mom and pop shop is going to be able to do it. an i personally dont think those wheels are ugly. if you like them why dont you ask the seller what the bolt pattern is?

Those wheels are horrible. I would not put them on mine.
Good luck with the wheel hunt.
