I chose these as

They would not rust being painted steel and stainless trim

They were made for the HHR.

and finally I got a discount on them where I work.

I has to choose between these or the rally wheel version with the five holes in it. I decided to go a little retro.

I did avoid the chrome versions of these wheels as they would be a pain to keep form rusting.

They do make a stainless polished center cover too but I kept with the Chevy theme.

that's a a classic look that will remind many of the original Suburbans of the forties & fifties. No wide whitewalls, just a small chrome hubcap on a metal wheel. Very nice!

Boy, I do agree, they look really neat. As mentioned before, I like the red surround and the sort of baby moon look is great, with the bow-tie bonus to boot. Yes, it does give it that 50s look...

I don't suppose those hubcaps could be used on the steel winter wheels some of us purchased from Tire Rack?

Sorry but I Don't think they will. I would have to see the Tire Racks wheel. I the Wheel Vintique wheel is a little different from most of the othersd I have seen.

I added red bow ties to the caps.

I did not take a picture but the photo shop here is just how they came out.
