Unhappy nearly cried

ok so i went to one of the biggest rims and tire stores here in toronto and can you believe it i cant find much for rims for my 2006 HHR LT


all i want is a nice set of 18" rims that stand out a lil more then normal lol.

i was thinkin somewhere along the lines of a two tone umm like gun metal and black with a stainless lip lol. but all they had was 1 ya 1 set of chrome rims that would fit my car. cuz they said HHR's have a different bolt pattern then normal


any one have any ideas where a canadian guy can get a set of sick rims and if maybe by chance the guy at the shop was wrong can someone tell me what other cars have the same bolt pattern as the HHR.

thanks folks

Randy

I don't know if they ship to Canada but one of our vendors, truckshop.com, has a decent selection. Not a whole bunch, but they do have some to choose from.

Hope this helps.

These had about 300 miles on Kuhmo 245/40/18 tires, I also got the Gold Line loweing springs (not installed yet) which he purchased from of course from Mike SoCal. The price was too good to pass up (including springs, custom cargo carpert, Third Brake Light sticker, the price was the number 1, once, and the rest zero's) until I get the old school rims I am looking for, they look very nice in person. I will add another photo when I get home from work, but all in all, been very fun.

mrjiggz! Have you seen *THIS* ? It's a Wheel Visualizer!
*HERE* is a thread on the topic!
That little program is really neato. You can select all sorts of options. HHR color, rims, tire sizes, raise and lower the HHR!

Yup, GM screwed us on the bolt pattern...A good wheel store will have rims with a blank bolt pattern that they can custom drill to your vehicle. That's how I got mine...
