Well, it took a while to find exactly what I wanted, but I think it turned out well. I got a set of 17x8 Amp Euro's in chrome and 215 50 17 Zexius Xi326 tires. Both are Les Schwab brand.

Handling and traction is much improved as well as the look! :thumb:

Blinding. Very blinding! :cool:

Why thank you, thank you very much....

By the way, the offset is perfect. These wheels were specifically designed with the GM cars in mind.

Very Bling Bling...Now I know why your selling your stock wheels.

likin' the chrome!!! :cool:

Not bad. ;) You decided against going bigger huh? Is it because you didn't want to sacrifice the factory ride? :confused:

I think they look really good :thumb:

Yeah. Ride. Warranty. Braking distance. Gas Mileage. Speedo could be slightly off. Also the cost jumped up a few hundred.

I decided it was better to stick with the factory specified size, all things considered. The wheels I got are "blingy" enough for me.

Although... the same wheel in a 20" is pretty danged sweet. :lol:

looks good with the blue, well done :thumb:

Your options are going to be limited with 18x7.5. Most wheels in 18 are x8. It's bad enough that our screwed up bolt pattern and offset limit our choices of wheel types. Most reputable shops now carry blanks so they can machine fit the offset and bolt pattern (in-house) to your vehicle.

does discount wheel warehouse carry the blanks to do the drilling ??? or did you need to ask

When you talk to them they will let you know your options. Since I went there in person, I didn't want to wait for blank wheels to come back from the Machine shop (they said it would take two days).

Mine actually have a BMW Bolt Pattern with the proper offset. They drilled the wheels for the HHR bolt pattern (5 X 110). So there is a total of 10 stud holes on my wheels. If you take the cap off and look at my wheels you would think it came from the factory like that.

Make sure you go to a reputable shop. Discounted Wheel Warehouse is where I went and who I recommend since I saw them in person. They do a lot of their business online. If you go with them, ask for Joey, the sales manager...the guy knows his stuff.

do those come in 18's

do those come in 18's

Oh no! :eek: I sense another Photoshop request coming up. :roflol:

Yes. They come in 18's with the right bolt pattern and offset! (19's also.)

Ha ha. No, my SPEEDOMETER is fine, though.
