Brilliant upgrade. :)
Much nicer than your previous 20's (like you said, too much wheel for the car), plus the new wheels match the design and satin silver accents perfectly where the previous ones look like "add-ons".
The best mods are the ones that could be mistaken for stock (or in-house authorized tuner parts; i.e. Chevy's SS, Cadillac's V, Pontiac's GXP).

I must say, having 20"s I like the old ones, But for your car, it was the right move, It blends in so well, and looks lower. That is what I like the most. The lower the better!! Confused about the rubbing though, you must have gone with a much higher tire? The grille is to die for, wish I had seen that before I got mine. I would buy your headlights if you want to get rid of those LOL. Todd (Uma)
Your car looks great!!! I like both sets of wheels but I am leaning towards the Cobalt SS wheels myself. I have a couple of questions though.
What mod did you do to your headlights? They look great.
What brand of drop springs do you have? The drop is perfect!!!

Don't sweat it. I used the search function I tend to forget about. The job you did on the headlights is great. However I won't be tackling that.
I had a 2001 VW jetta that I took the headlights apart on and painted a good portion of the chrome black and then put them back together. They turned out nice. I think I may try that on the HHR. Here is a picture for reference.

P.S. I'm not trying to hyjack your thread or anything and I apologize for the size of the picture.
