Default Wheel Options - What ones?

Had some time off today and needed to rotate the tires on the GXP. Decided I would see what the stock GXP 18x8 wheels and the 18x8 silver/black aftermarket wheels I have on the GXP would look like on the Monte Carlo SS.

I really like the aftermarket wheels, seem to really blend well with the silver and tinted windows on the Monte Carlo. I won't leave them on the Monte Carlo as they look good on the GXP which is daily driven, but definitely would consider getting something similar with the silver/black combo on the wheels for the Monte Carlo.

Here's stock SS Wheels, stock GXP wheels, and the black/silver aftermarket wheels:

The aftermarkets really set the car off IMO. I do like the stock wheels on a Silver Monte though. Plus you keep the sleeper look with the stockers. Not a fan of theGXP wheels...it just looks off to me.

Wheels are platnum saber. Jegs sells them. I agree that the gxp wheels do look a little off for some reason.

I really like the stock SS wheels with the silver. Makes me wish I got a Monte instead of a GXP...
