I like old school 5 spoke with new school looks or double ribs like this one has.

Make it a 5 double spoker and yes!:cool:

But opinions are like noses. Everybody has one!:lol:

A little too much over the top for me, but I don't have to live with em either. I like basic and simple, not too much chrome. I'm with Craig though, I think they'd look better as a 5 double spoke.

It's not my style, but Anything is better that stock rims. If thats what you want than I say go for it. I want to do a old hot rod style on my HHR.

Nice.......I see lots that have 5 spokes, and they almost look factory. These on the other hand......I'm jealous!

GO to the Gallery. I posted a pic of Driftwood , has those rims.( P.S. Driftwood is scheduled to appear at the Mid Central RUN in Peoria,IL on Aug.12th.)
After taking a closer look , They`re slightly different, but close enough to say if you like/dislike...

yeah i'm definitely thinking of upgrading my 18's to 20's. Anyone interested in a set of 2-month old rims? lol



NG, after seeing Jarredondo's 20's tucked in and low profilin' I definitely had to get 20's. Makes the HHR look meaner than normal.

hey NG if I remember correctly you rolled your wheel well correct? Maybe you can assist me in getting the rear rolled.

How hard are these 18's and 20's riding? Do you feel every crack? Are they way more noisy? Just curious.

Me, I'm one who actually likes the stock 17" polished rims . I suppose other rims can look good and do, but I do not mind the stock ones. The ride and handling are just about right for a general use vehicle.

If I want a slot car, though, I'm sure the HHR could be outfitted as one!:D I see folks doing it here more and more!:lol:

The 18's ride okay. You feel bumps here and there but thats expected since my tires are low profile. I can sacrifice a little comfort to make my ride look badass!

This is pretty much why I looked specifically for 17x7 wheels. I like the ride and stance on the stock rims, but I absolutely HATE polished alum rims. Too hard to maintain. Besides that, I needed to change things up to get the look I'm after.

I think they may look quite nice. I put a set of 18 in. limited 359's with falken 235/40/18 on our HHR and love the new look. I'm not sure about how low the profile has to be to go to 20's but I love the ride and handling with what I put on. I need to upgrade to premium soon but have some pics in my gallery.

Saw your pix in the gallery...Ride looks really good. Drop it and I think your ride will really stand out...

HHR PNOY, I like the rims. I normally like subtle, subdued and simple but those have a nice combo, to me, of basic and complex. I guess it's the split spokes. The pic posted by ng8650 is what I would like. I even like the black mirrors, which blend in with the tinted windows and don't distract from the beautiful rims, IMHO.

Thanks for posting the pic and the compliments on the Looks. The more I drive this cool little cuv the more I like it. I think lowering would also look outstanding, ran that thought by the wife and she was not so receptive (worried about the ride quality) but maybe in a short time I can change her thinking on that issue. Your ride also looks very sharp. I'm sure it's a labor of love getting it there. Once again thanks NG

To get behind those rims would drive me crazy when it came time to cleaning them. Give me the traditional 5 spoke too. A rim does'nt look clean until you do both sides.

Bling doesn't fit the lines of the HHR (or anything but a Donk, really)
