Torque Thrust Wheels
Well, I just ordered the wheels & tires from TireRack.com. They will ship the mounted & balanced set to my door for $1,297.82 (minus an $80 rebate for the tires), so the grand total will end up being $1,217.82. I'd rather have a complete, ready to install set instead of ordering the wheels & tires from separate places, then having to take them to a local shop to be mounted & balanced. It would have cost more time & money doing it that way.
I went with the 18x9" American Racing Torq Thrust M Black wheels & P255/45ZR-18 Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar tires (same tires that are factory installed on the Ford GT, Z06 Vette, & SRT-8 cars). I am looking forward to receiving them and will post pics when they are installed.
Thank you all very much for the help with sizes and such...

The wheels & tires on on the car as of this afternoon 
I may be biased, but these are some of the best looking wheels I've had on any of my previous cars. To have 3" lip on a front wheel drive car is quite a site! I have had nothing but compliments from neighbors & friends...Hopefully these pics load - I also have a video of a smokey burnout
I can't seem to load the pics or the video...is there an easier way?

If you guys like those then you'll love these....

These are the ones I have been looking at. They are custom made so the 5x115 bolt pattern isn't an issue(it's actually an option)...they are pricey though...

IDK. I personally don't think they'll look that good on our GP's. They look MUCH better on a Monte. Try photoshop to see how it would look.
Those wheels look great on your silver Monte SS.
Question though, what is the stock offset for our wheels?
My aftermarket 18x8's I believe is 35mm and I believe I was rubbing in the front. Do I need spacers? If so, what size? Thanks!
To add, this is a GREAT link:
