Very nice I think they would look great on an HHR. Just to be sure you should ask 06 to do a photoshop for ya

if you want me to do a photoshop of it just take a side pic of your car and post it on here with a pic of the rims and ill be happy to. But most likely not till next week, because schools out today~ and I dont have photoshop at home yet.

Very heavy wheel. But I love Ronals. I have a set of vintage Ronal Turbos on my VW Golf (my "get me back and forth to work daily car").

I like the look but always wonder how much time I am going to have to spend cleaning the brake dust from the nooks & crannys and then polishing them.

Those wheels look pretty easy to polish. I've had MUCH worse...

IMO I would go with the 17s. After looking through the diffrent pics it seems the HHR is the type a vehicle that if your rims are to big it kinda steals away from the rest of the vehicle cause all you notice is the wheels....I think I am just going to get some 16" chrome that way I can get rid of my fugly hub caps and just get a nice set on there.

Don't think I could possibly run 16s on an HHR. As a basic rule, I try to not run anything smaller than the factory wheel... I realize the base line HHRs came with 16s, but... Mine didn't .

I think 18s are just about right. But they gotta tuck... Too wide, or wrong offset, will kill the look.
