Brings back old memories installing those, working in a gas station many years ago.

Wow, I would love to see those on my white HHR. Someone try these out and let us know if they work!! How do they install? Can a tire shop just remove some air and stick em on without removing the tire from the rim??

If they are like the old Port-o-walls you just break the bead ,slip them in, and air up.

If they are centered correctly they fit pretty good and conform to the sidewall.

You've probably have already seen them , they are also used on motorcycles to get that vintage look.
