Wink Steel Wheels for HHR?

I wonder if they make steel wheels with the 5-110 bolt pattern. I have a back LT2, but was thinking of going a little retro and when my present tires wear out with putting on some steel wheels, with chrome rings and a chrome center hub cap and white wall tires. Think this might give it a cool retro look. It seems like all the HHRs have the same wheels. Of course, in my city there are 2 in town, can't believe its taking so long to get more out, but in a way, that's good as we have a uncommon ride....

Steel wheels come standard on an LS HHR. They are not polished or anything. They come with a cheap plastic cover on them.

Sorry I'm just an a** some times and often don't think about feelings. I have never been a very sensitive man. I guess they are not bad as far as plastic covers go. :) Sorry if I offended you. I suck! At least they are not as bad as rice boy chrome plasic fake spinner covers!

I saw an HHR today with Spoked 18" rims. I almost vomited! Now why on God's green earth would somebody do that to their HHR?? It looked absolutely horrible. It was a sandstone HHR and the spokes had the gold tips. UUUUUUUUUGGGLLYY.

Brake dust creates havoc on spoked rims (a long time ago I used to have them on one of my ol skool rides). For a daily driver, they require constant maintenance or they will rust.
