rims????

I'm trying to find rims for my 2.4 L ss. I am trying to find black with a chrome lip.
Anyone know of any good companies to buy from this is my first time getting rims and dont want to buy something crappy. Also anyone know of how big the rims can be without effecting the ride of my car or having to adjust the height?


Another thing i was thinking was painting the stock rims black? anyone done this yet? If so how would i go about doing it?

Stay away from painting the stock rims. Go to Discounttire.com for wheel size. I have an SS/SC and those wheels have a 5-110 wheel pattern, which means they have 5 lug nuts and the lugs are 110mm apart. I just replaced the crappy 18" stock wheels with a set of Pulse wheels which are 17" x 7.5". They are black 5 split spokes with a machined outer perimeter. They are getting pretty good reviews from the local crowd. Go on ebay and decide what you like then shop your local tire stores for what you can get that looks like what you want. Some brands that you will not go wrong with are Enkei, American Racing Wheels, Centerline. You will definitely pay more for the more established brands.
