I got lucky again... REAL LUCKY this time!
It was just a few short weeks ago that I locate a beautiful set of 17" Cobalt SS wheels and tires for my HHR. I thought that I was out of the wheel market, but that all changed late last week. While doing my bi-weekly (or more frequent) search for HHR parts on eBay and Craigslist, I ran upon an interesting ad on Craigslist. It said "HHR SS wheels / tires. Nice shape, tire have 90 - 95% tread left." Seeing that the wheels were only about an hours drive away I figured I'd go take a look. They were located at a salvage yard in upstate NY. When I got there I soon realized that the wheels were alot better than described....like BRAND NEW! They came off an SS with 3 miles...yes 3 miles! It seems that the SS's roof got crushed coming off the transporter and it was totalled! Needless to say I bought the wheels / tires on the spot. Oh did I mention that the seller was asking $500.00! I couldn't pay for them fast enough! Here are a couple of pics of the quickly cleaned up wheels.... I installed the wheels this evening and will pst some pics later.
I will add that the salvage yard has some parts off this same SS..including the engine and 5sp tranny with 3 miles on them! the complete front end sheet metal, rear end with discs, front spindles etc. Sorry no interior parts. If you are interested in any parts PM me and I'll pass on the list that was sent to me.
Even the back of the wheels look nice!
