Monte Carlo SS Rims choices

[RipDaJacka]

Wells, as a few of you know I have just bought a 03 Monte Carlo SS.. In May I will be getting some 20's or 22's! I wanna roll the chrome/black dubs... I told my neighbor ( A muscle car resoration expert) about my car. I have helped him work on 69 Camaro's 70 Chevelles 68 Chevy pickups and whatnot.. so me and him have became friends... Anyways.. I was tellin him about my new car and he told me to stop by and pick a custom color and we would paint my whip this summer.. All it will cost me is paint.. No labor charge since we will be doing all this together..

so Which rims ahould I get

Fusion Onyx Black with chrome inserts

Verde Avatar Crome with Black highlights

My car is Stock white with 13% window tint.. so Im thinking about this color.. It is a candy tangerine that they use to paint new harley's.. It changes in the sun from a bright orange with pearl crush to a deep red/orange... Pic off a caprice I found on Ebay

All opinons welcomed, but keep the flames and dumps to yourself, If at all possible

Color? Well, I'd prefer something that would go better with the black and white rims.. but nonetheless, it will look good!

DON'T DO THE VERDE'S THE LIPS ARE WEAK. My Brother had a set and he hit a small pothole and bent the lip enough to loose all tire preassure. It messed up the rim. The dealer told him to he would replace it and the same thing happened a second time...different rim.

I've been told these are made by TSW and TSW are soft.

YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!

which size tires on the 20's? 245/35 is reccomended but I dont want em lookin like 18's!! I would really wanna do 22s but I dont want to do suspension enhancements or have some awwful rubbing!! would 245/30/22's work? or would I need something different.. Hit me with suggestions

255/35/ZR20 is what I have now, you will regret doing the 245's after a while. Also when putting 22's on our car, all you need are spacers in the back to keep from rubbing. Your tire size for those would be 245/30/22. 22's fill the entire wheel well. I am about to change my 20's and go with the 22's. 20's look small on our car.
