20" thats a bit ridiculous for an SS but hey its your car you can do what you want. I think it would look nice on a regular HHR but I just dont see the point of having rims that big on a small vehicle not to mention the added weight.

Go BIG or don't go at all! The SS wheels are sweet. If you are compelled to change them don't spend good $ to keep the same size! Todd(Uma)

I guess I'm old fashioned, I don't like the rubber band look. Just my opinion.
They're no good on standard streets, if you hit a pothole they're ruined. I know others like them, I just hope it's a fad that will go away.

Like I said its your car and its an expression of your personality its just not for me. Personally i would rather spend the money on an ultralight 18in wheel that would make the car handle better and drop a few pounds.

Heck im not even old fashioned and I think its a bit much. I think the stockers are just right and under normal street pressure are great but under racing pressure ~42psi is like riding on rubber bands. But heck if hes going to do it at least they arent spinners that would just be horribly ugly and is an insult to any car there on from a yugo to a ferrari.

I've seen a few HHRs with 20s that looked awesome. I'm happy with my stock SS wheels but I had 20s on my Blazer Xtreme. Its all a matter of personal taste. If it makes ya happy go for it. Here in the SF Bay Area a lot of people are putting 22s or bigger on their cars and trucks. Saw an Impala in Oakland last week with 24s, Looked like it was a 4x4 to me. But to each his own. Below is a link for my old Blazer. Haven't put the HHR on Cardomain yet.
