Most of the machined wheels today have a nice clear coat finish that protects and keeps maintenanace down - like this one!







Hope it helps,

mmmm.... chrome....

Go chrome...

Chrome on Black is the hottest combo ever! Maybe for that reason, (or just plain ole' lack of originatlity) both my 2006's are chrome on black.

And here's the Days of the New:

I'm biased, go black on 2LTBlack!



Actually you can't go wrong with chrome or black. My preference is if your not going with chrome try to keep the wheel color similar to the vehicle color. Kind of what I did and SoCal. But I personally would stay away from the black ride with silver wheels. My

Black wheels on a black HHR look really nice! If not black then you should go with chrome.

Well sit back and relax so I can tell you about them, Ng Style...

Those are Giovanna 18x8 Black Ararat's wrapped with Nitto's 555. I purchased them at:

http://www.discountedwheelwarehouse....ShowLarge=True

I only lived about an hour away from discounted, so not wanting to buy wheels and deal with someone without seeing them, I went there in person. The guys there know their stuff. The customer service was great. If you give them a call they will help you out, even if you don't buy from them.

Now that I've seen their warehouse and how they do business, I would not hesitate recommending them as an online purchase for those who live outside SoCal. Just don't order online, give them a call, there are to many variables involved with wheels for our HHR. Plus their prices are very competitive, except for their 22's, I'll be going elsewere for 22's for my Burb

Cool Wheels! The only problem for me is that I want to stay with 17" ers. I want a little meat between the rims and the road, I'm an old guy, and like the cushion!

SoCal's are 17's...Check the discounted website for 17's. I had my mind made up going in that I wanted 18's or 20's. But I'm no spring chicken either
