I wanna upgrade from my crappy black rims to something nicer looking, like the ones off an LTZ or a Grand Prix. I currently have 215 65 R15 tires on it. These are also the one specified inside the trunk lid.
What should I be worried about when selecting a new rim?
Will most Grand Prix, Monte Carlo, Impala rims fit on my car considering that I have 10" rotors on the back wheels?

In short, yes... BUT !!!! try any wheel on both ends of your car for caliper clearance before you buy them. (A must do)

yes, as long as th bolt pattern is the same, 115 x 5 I believe, most rims will fit. Although, speaking from experience, the ones from an impala, you know, the 5 spoke, brushed alloy ones, wont work. They hit the calipers in the front, and unless you feel comfortable putting spacers on your fronts, stay away from those puppys. I ended up taking a 150.00 Loss on them. Oh well, better to lose money, than to kill someone from a wheel falling off. If you find some nice ones that fit, let me know, ok? Thanks.

I wish I had that car. You got the 3.8 and dual exhaust, right?

3.8, dual exhaust, Recaro seats, rubber floors, all that crap...
There's a lot of annoying stuff about this car that needs to be changed. I'm going after a new set of wheels and a center console from a Monte Carlo -- there's an empty space between the two front seats. . There's also a full sized spare in the back that's covered by a piece of rubber. That needs to go as well.
