I agree. It would go with the whole theme you have going! Looks great!

I think it looks very good-nice personalized look.
The wheel treatment looks very unique-I hope it does hold up for you!
And "bonus points" for the fact that it cost under $20 bucks. That appeals to the DIY, cheapskate side of me as well.

Thanks for all the feedback folks. As for a how to for the wheels, its pretty straightfoward. The most important thing is to remember to sand down the clearcoat, then clean them good, tape off and paint. I used engine block paint for the heat and corrosion protection. They have held up pretty good throught the brake dust and tar so far.

personally i'd paint the rims black with red lips instead of the original chrome look. you dont really have anything else thats chrome on the car. i think it'd look hard with what you've done with the grill. and leave the black bow tie. it's got potential and its cheap. who can really complain? lol.

Yeah, I like them just b/c it says, "hey, this is no ordinary HHR!", but at the same time, they just don't go with my theme so I am seriously considering removing mine soon.
