Thanks for the push peoples! 
Thank You! I just used some vinyl. I measure it about a 1/4 over on each side, stuck it on and tucked it in with a credit card.
I'll post the original pics up tomorrow or monday. But trust me, like JCJSS said, B & W are classics
. That's what I do a lot of my photography in anyways...

Personally, I prefer the stock rims (made the dealer put them back on when I bought the car), but I do love those! 
Very nice! IMHO, the black HHR just photographs so well..
Scott, I always say you gotta try--time for another black one, who's to say it can't be yours!?
