Great pics. Just for clarification...in the pictures, are those hubcabs or aluminum wheels? In your origional post, you said that you weren't sure about keeping the wheels but also mentioned removing the hubcaps. Just askin

Yes they are hub caps, but whats funny is the wheels on it dont look like a stock steel wheel almost looks after-market-ish?

This weekend if weather permits im going to paint them

Nice. I dabble in photography, myself, and while I haven't done any serious work with Herman, these little wagons are seriously photogenic.

Junior-

Do your bare rims look like these 5 spoke steel mags ? Those did come stock behind hubcaps on (I think) the newer HHRs' ..

Those are cool steelies !!! See link.

I'd much prefer the bare steelies to the cheap look of plastic covers over 'em.

I don't use photoshop, but I do like to find interesting effects in lightroom

Thanks for all the warm replys yall!

Man painting is a job, this is one thing I have always sucked at, PAINTING! well spray painting or can paint. Took me 6hrs! I painted my calipers and drums, I will be adding some drilled and slotted rotors when spring gets here just for looks, not like I go racing in it!

I went with blue, I will get some better pics up, I was excused and didn't want to get my nice camera all dirty, between my car and my camera thats all a man like me needs! , today I just piddled around the house and took a lot of naps!
