Thanks!!
Yep, wheel adapters also correct needed offset fix so that the wheels fit without rubbing on the inside. With the Vette wheels the 1 1/4" thick adapters I used were perfect. Very close everywhere-but not a rub anywhere.:

Where did you get the wheel adapters? Lol does it ride nice with those fat tires under it? Probably awesome grip! Just think if you ever powder coated those wheels black. That would look sick!

That is an awesome looking ride. I love the lower stance - what was the impact on the ride?

Thank you.
The HHR had 4 miles on it when I took delivery, I drove 17 miles and installed the springs and tires. So I don't know what impact it has had if any. I like how it rides and handles but I don't have a comparison, sorry. I never test drove one either before I ordered mine.

Harleysshhr, you commented on windows vs. panels, and were surprised so many "window" votes came in.

I think there aint an HHR owner out there who doesn't like the look of the panels. Many of us already had a 'window' HHR, when the panels came out. Many people out there may not want to drive a panel.

But I think it's safe to say that ALL HHR owners like the panels...and for that reason, CONGRATS!!!

very cool ride. it started out cool...and you made it coolER!!! well done.

Thanks, some lowered vehicles drive like a tank and shake your fillings loose on every bump. I'm assuming from your comments that this isn't the case and "if" it degraded the ride (over the stock suspension) the casual or first time driver wouldn't particularly notice it.

Again one very sweet looking HHR!
