These are the HHR rims shown in an original sales brochure. Post #1 shows a different rim.
FMG- That is not the complete wheel line up. Cause my factory polished 17"s are not there. Maybe for 2010 tho.
But not earlier.

Wheel 01 replaced the ones you and I have.

I don't run mine anymore though as I have the 16" Eagle mags...

PittKrew- That is good stuff.. I like "Never Dull" too.

I knew the mag wheels the OP posted looked familiar, my nearest neighbor has a 2005 Malibu Maxx, & it has the silvered rims, exact same pattern,...

And those are supposed to be great for polishing headlights, according to some YouTube videos. I don’t know for sure.
