Default My new rims on the Monte

Well I started the day off looking like this. Washed it at 7 am this morning to make it to the tire shop so it would look decent when I got done.



The KMC Rockstar Car Wheels



This is what the outcome was :thumbsup: I have yet to get a good chance to get some quality pictures but this is what I have so far.

Those are surprisingly good looking. I usually hate rockstar wheels because of the crowd they are usually associated with (street-only lifted trucks with monster stickers) but your car pulls them off nicely.

Thank you. I was very skeptical at first and actually said I would never get a set of Rockstars. The more I looked at them online they more I could picture them on my car so I just went for it. I am happy with how they look on the car. They really seem to pull the look I was going for off...now I just need tint....no monster stickers for me

I'd ditch the center caps, other than that they look great.

Yea I agree. something needs to be done with them for sure. I might for a quick remedy just paint them black so they dont stand out so much. thanks

Painting the stars black is a good idea and an easy fix.

I am thinking about it for sure. I need tint really bad now too. haha thanks. It took awhile for me to get over the whole "rockstar" thing too. Still dont like them on trucks at all though.

It will buy me some time atleast. I dont mind them as much now that I am getting used to them but they still need something done.
