Okay, so dad didn't order my tires the other week which means if I find some wheels I like in the next few days I might get lucky and end up with them too.

One of my favorites so far has been these KMC Nova's


The only problem is that they don't come in 18s, only 20 and 22. I would really like to go with a set of 18s, I'll stick with 17s if need be, nothing over 18 though.

Anyone seen a set like those Nova's? How about any other wheels that are pretty clean? I'd rather go with machined or black over chrome as I don't feel like chrome would fit well with the direction I'm taking my car.

Edit: Oops, forgot the image tags...

i wouldn't go over 18" either if you like handling and driving fast.  if you like it, get it... but if you have to ask others, then i always say the answer is no.  when you find the rims you like, they'll stand out and you'll know they're theo nes.

Wow, those are nice but I agree with cowboy, I wouldnt go over 18's, it really takes away from the overall ride quality!!!

X3 for me.
 
I wouldn't go over 18" if I were you.  But you already said you wouldn't anyway.
That wheel you posted is a nice wheel if you can find one similar in 18's.

Exactly, and these are screaming at me, I just don't want to buy them at 20". Mainly I was wondering if anyone else had seen any that look similar to these, or something different that's just as clean looking.

personally i think the wheel 'space just found looks better, good price, 18"s, with a black lip it would match your stripes.

Ooh nice, I like those better too.  If it came with a chrome center and black lip I would get me some!

I like the wheels the God_Bot has on his Monte.
Anything with the clean looking spoke looks seems to enhance the overall appearance of the car.

Those you likes in the photo are like that; too.

the one thing i found with the 18" wheels is they ride some what ruffer but after a few days they seem normal to you. But i also have my mounts fliped and this will cause some of the road vibes to get thew more also.
 
But i agree with nothign over 18 i didnt want to go mor ethen 17 at the most. but i was in a pinch.
 
I belive it is tire rack.com that you cna go to and it has a picture of the monte and you can put diffrent wheels under it and get a idea of what they will look like on your car.
this helps alot when trying to figure out what ya want.
