Rims Are Expensive

I've been looking around the net at custom rims for my HHR. I have a pretty good idea of what I want but they are all so expensive I'd have to sell a kidney on the black market to afford them. I'm gonna have to get a second job if I keep finding stuff I want to do to this car.

I was looking for something similar. Only black. I hear ya with needing a second job to pay for all the mods. so far all i have been able to do is small decals. I've been back and forth, Rims or Custom decals. I can't make up my mind. Guess if i find a buyer for my old rims then those come first..... Let me know if you find anything like those rims.

That rim looks SOOOO nice!
I'm with you in spirit, but I'm picking up an extra set of 17" stock polished rims. I have already messed up one of my 17" polished stock ones and need spares for the eventual curbside/pothole damege that occures. Not much meat on tires anymore, they are all rim and the rims take a beating!
I figure to have a set of nice rims for good weather set up with great wet/dry tires and a set of scarred rims for the winter with noisier more winter ready tires on them. Not that I want the second set to be scarred, but I'm on my way there

If you look around on eBay. Sometimes you can find some really good deals on some rims. I may change my rims eventually, but I'm not all that anxious to have it done. I kind of like the stock rims. Super simple to clean too. lol

I'm happy with the factory rims. A far cry from what I ran years ago.....white spokers on my CJ-5, Painted with sexy covers on my Jeep J-30 p/u. The rims on my current S-10 and my HHR are wayyyy superior to those, so I'll stick with what I have.
