Or should I have gotten 20's?

should have gotten dubs

Stick with the 18's this will cause much less performance and brake issues. I've driven Monte's with 20's and they suck for brakeing and after time have other issue with suspention. This was pointed to me on another topic and helps describe it. Very good read.

20's are for looks. At least with those 18's you can SMASH on the hater's at the light!!

Hey Scooze, I noticed your license plate. . .looks to be a Mizzou license plate. You from missouri? If so we should hook up and start a monteclub. . .

I think your wheels look great. IMHO anything over the 18" look too big for the car. I don't get off on the look of wheels that seem to overpower the rest of the car. There is a point of overkill. As I said IMHO "Good Choice"

i think that you made the right choice on 18s. IMO they do the monte better than 20's for a couple of reasons. first of all 20's are damn heavy and would require you to upgrade your brakes so they don't where prematurely. another reason would be because you have a much higher chance of damaging tires and rims due to potholes and such. i installed 18's on my monte and am very happy with them.
