As greyghost said, it is possible. If nothing else you cn get the full set of steel wheels and baby moons from Wheel Vintiques (http://www.wheelvintiques.com). They don't have the style like shown at the top, but they do offer the one with red block letters that I posted part way down the page.


These caps for their wheels are $40 each. They sell chrome beauty rings for $18.75 each.

They sell the smoothie wheels to put these on for around $80 each. They also come in chrome for just a bit more.


You'd have to call them to ask about application, but it looks like the biggest size they have for FWD is 16x6.5. I have spoken with one guy who has these on his HHR so I know they have them to fit. They just don't have the size listed on their website.

When I first started building our HHR in Photoshop to see how the mods I wanted would look, Wheel Vintiques were the first thought.

Here is the Photoshop.


My wife is the one who wanted the Moon Eyes and I ended up letting her have her way. I am glad I did! I love the way they came out.

mudbilly, I don't know if I have a picture of it on my computer or not, and it is at my place in GA so I can't just run out and take one. I'll see what I can find.

It is a bone stock 4-door Fleetline sedan. Pale green with brown mohair interior. 66k original miles. It needs paint but other than that it is perfect. I inherited it from my great aunt and she and my uncle dinged the paint all down the side where it was parked in their garage.

I looked for a sample photo online but most that I found were 2-door aeros. This is the only one I found like mine. Mine is not a lowrider, doesn't have the visor and extra lights and I have stock fender skirts instead of these aftermarket ones. But this is a car that can look good either way in my opinion.

Hey I called wheelvintuques They told me they don't deal with the HHR right now, and did not seem to want to help me. They told me they don't do anything with the HHR right now.

Mine came direct from Moon Eyes in L.A. They fit the factory 16" steel wheel. The big thing with these covers is that you have to break down each tire and drill and tap the wheel. Also, the holes in the caps are not consistent. The caps only fit one way on the wheel, and they also only fit the wheel they are drilled for. If you ever screw one up, the replacement from Moon Eyes will not fit your drilled holes. I'm always telling Marie to watch out for curbs and stuff!

On another note, where are you in CA? Does your name mean you are CHP? Will we be seeing you this weekend on the run? In your HHR! Not in the CHP car! haha
