I hope everything works out all right for you. Not trying to scare you, but this company, which is part of a bigger "parent", had been a problem for me. I had to "sic" a lawyer on them!! Just a heads up......if you don't get the parts in a reasonable time, start the dialog.

the only thing you might need to watch out for..
is The spoke type of steelies won't allow you install the Moons..

Where as the the circluar steelies (ones with small punch out holes on the outer edges) do allow to put moons on..

Where did you get them? Hubcap Mike's has those with spring clips, but it specifically says they will not fit HHR or Honda Element. I really like those better, but I'm OK with smoothies for now.

I took another look at my stock steel wheels. Unless those baby moons have magic fingers we can't see, there's no way I can see for them to stay on our wheels. The center of our steel wheels are smooth. No lugs, no ridges, no protrusions anywhere for a set of baby moons to snap over.

I could see somebody making some with a metal ring that would hold on to the lugs, and then the cap snaps over the ring.

Maybe once we see more HHRs on the road, somebody might start making something like that.

Well, maybe not perfectly! I lost one this spring due to a pothole and you can't buy just one to replace it!
