I like the polished look on those wheels. They go really well with the black car.
I kinda wish the non-painted sections of my wheels had the polished look instead of the machined look.
For re-sizing pics, if you have a photo program like photoshop, it's easy. There will be an image size option. I find an image size of 640x480 pixels to be a decent size. You also don't need to have high resolution pics here. Medium or better resolution pics will show up half decent here. Just keep in mind that there's a 250k maximum for pics uploaded in each post.
If you don't have a photo editing program, MS Paint (or just Paint), pre-loaded in your computer with Windows, is capable of re-sizing pics too. But it's a bit involved.
In Paint, open your picture file. Under the Edit menu, click on Select All. Then move your pointer to the bottom right corner of the pic until you get a symbol with two diagnal arrows. One arrow pointing up and to the left, the other pointing down and to the right. Click and hold on the bottom right corner of the pic. You can then shrink the picture down to the size of your choice. This will leave you with some white empty space around your picture. Use the select tool (dotted rectangle in the list of tools on the left side of the screen), and select just the area containing your picture (leave out the blank white space). Copy and paste your selection onto a new canvass, then save it. jpg and gif formats work best here.
Of course, you can also do what a lot of others here do. Open a free account on photobucket.com and upload your original pics there. Then simply link the pics into your post from there. You won't have the file too large problem that way. To link a pic from another site, use the Add Image icon  when making your post. VERY IMPORTANT HERE: when linking a pic from another site like photobucket. USE THE "DIRECT LINK". DO NOT USE THE "IMG CODE" LINK. The IMG code link will NOT work here. Because the letters [IMG] are in capital letters. This site only works with lower case letters [img].
CORRECT: [img] and [/img]
WRONG: [IMG] and [/IMG]
This is a very common mistake made by everyone when they first start here. Myself included.
Hope this helps.

New member here. Here is a pic of my Monte about 5 days before I brought it home. This is my 3rd Monte Carlo. I owned a 70 Monte Carlo, an 84 Monte Carlo SS and now this 2004 Dale Jr Monte Carlo Supercharged SS. Am getting some ribbing from people saying I need to paint it green and put another 8 on it - but I don't care, Dale Jr will always be known for this car no matter what he drives. Plus I bought it because they didn't make many of them and of course for the Supercharger!! Wondering if anyone knows how I can find out what production number my car is - I went searching online and pretty much found out that either the number is not included in my VIN number (which I find hard to believe) or that the number of my car is included with the whole production of Monte Carlos in 2004 (not just the Dale Jr models) which makes more sense to me - but I would really love to know. Apparently, I read they only made 2,883 of these????? May be a little off in my stats. Thanks!
Not sure if I uploaded my pic 2 x's or not at all - forgive me if I messed up.
