You really have to be more specific if you're looking for advice regarding wheels. What style are you looking for? Chrome? Polished? Black? 18's would be great for performance and a change in appearance. 20s are great for the appearance, imo...while 19's give the best of both worlds, but can get pricy and tires would be the same.

I would say go to your local wheel/tire dealer and ask them to see all the 19" wheels that will fit, or go online and check. Thing is there aren't all that many wheels with the correct offset and bolt pattern so first see what your choices are. That would probably narrow it down quite a bit for you. Just finding wheels you like with 5x115 bolt pattern might be a challenge in itself. Anyone know if these cars can use 5x114.3? I tried 5x114.3 wheels on my old '99 Monte Carlo and they didn't work because the wheel studs weren't centered.

Yeah, they'll work, but you'll be changing/re-installing wheel studs often.
