OEM Wheel Covers for HHR

OK, since I've put my winter tire set from TireRack on I've been looking at wheel covers that might fit. Since these are not OEM steel rims, these are the rims I got with my set from TireRack, but they look the same as the OEM steelies. Wonder if anyone might know if just by looking at the photos below whether the OEM cover might fit. These are the 08 covers, however the one on the right looks the same as ones used since the 06's.

Also are both of these clip-on or bolt-on????





Thanks

TomR

The covers on the right hand side are held on by threading the plastic caps on the wheelcover itself to the threads on the outside of the lugnut. So if you are going to use those, you will also have to change the lugnuts that are on your car now....I'm pretty sure the ones on the left are similar in design, but can't say 100%.....Regards

The "snow wheels" you have are aftermarket wheels made by "Unique" The valve hole will not line up with your factory caps. If you notice the valve is 180 off fom the top lug-hole on the factory cap. On the aftermarket hubcap its opposite,plus I think those are pop on caps. I think they will work.

Thanks for the replies so far. Didn't think to look at that valve stem alignment Tireman, you do know your stuff!!

I did order a set of their $32 wheel covers from TireRack that fit on those wheels, they don't look too bad, but would really like to have the Chevy ones on there.

The wacky thing is, when TireRack sent me the set of 4 wheel covers, two were cracked from shipping. So I called them they just sent me 2 more, and one of them had the locking tangs broken off.. They all came UPS and the boxes were pretty bad shape when they got here. So I called them again last night and they are sending me 1 more, FedEx this time, it shipped today. So out of 6 wheel covers, I've gotten 3 good ones. For $32 bucks they aren't too bad looking, they just need to pack them a little better when shipping. I got to hand it to TireRack, they're sending me these things "no questions asked".
