Classic hubcap fit?
Wow...those are cool looking. I would venture to guess that you won't find them to fit our stock rims, but would probably have to see if you can find a blank rim they fit and have them drilled to fit the HHR.
Hub Caps
you might ck this site they have hub cap clips to hold that cap on. Thay have all things to restore chevy / gmc trucks. I think you can make them work on a HHR wheel. go to view / order parts , then scrol down to hub caps they have pic for most parts. Also ck out Emblems and Trim , hood Ornaments OOH pick years 1947- 1953

More flash than Moon Eyes? Good luck! I have NEVER stopped at a gas station or anywhere else without being approached about the HHR, usually because of the Moon Eyes.
But.. since you want something different. I have the originals like you show above on my 48 Fleetline sedan. Before my wife convinced me about the Moon Eyes, I had the same plan you do. I wanted to find a chrome wheel in 16 or 17 inch that would accept an original 40s hubcap. But the ones I wanted to use were like:

The only difference was that they would have black block letters instead of red. When you look at our truck you can see why I wanted something black instead of colorful.

But I couldn't ask for anything better than the Moon Eyes and they fit perfectly on my stock wheels.

Hello, I want to do the same thing to my Silverstone HHR, i would love to put the older hubcaps on, but i was told by numerous people that it could not be done with the current wheels on the HHR ? ??? I have a LS with 16 inch wheels. Any suggestions ?

You'll have to find some older steel wheels (junkyard maybe) with the same lug pattern that were set up to use hubcaps. The lug pattern is 5x114.5mm which is SAE 5 x 4.5in... you can find all kinds of rims.
