Very cool NG! The wheels look awesome on your HHR.

Thanks for posting the pix and not making us wait to see it in person.

Alright here's the deal. The website that most of us have been checking out...www.discountedwheelwarehouse.com...These guys are the real deal!

They are located in Fullerton, Ca. and the warehouse is huge, at least a football field or two. The sales manager, Joey, helped me out with my purchase. Joey made sure that my wheel size matched stock so it wouldn't screw up the odometer. If you plan on buying from them, and you can't make it in person, give them a phone call. These guys want to make sure that your wheel package is right for you.

My wheels had to be custom fitted, so they drilled the wheel so the bolt pattern would match. They also have blanks so they can make any bolt pattern.

Highly recommended by yours truly

Cont:

These are Giovanna Ararat Black Wheels, 18 x 8.
They had to modify the bolt pattern
Tires are Nitto NT555 - 225-40-18
I purchase optional locks and lugnuts
And I also bought optional Hub rings so the wheels were centered.
Mount and balanced and installed on my HHR

Total cost = $1,516

Make sure you ask for Joey at Discount Wheel Warehouse

Looking good - no, GREAT! So......offset?

Also - any rubbing issues in driveways or other off-camber driving? Thanks!

I've always said 18's are he perfect size for the HHR. Perfect!

The drive was about 60 miles from the warehouse to home. As soon as I got off I looked at the rear wheels. There is some rubbing but it's not cutting grooves in my tires... check the pic of the rear wheel:


If you look close enough you can see where it is rubbing, the line right above the tire face

I found a custom body shop in Lake Elsinore that maybe able to help out. I'll pay him a visit in about two weeks. In the mean time, I just got to take it easy. I don't want those Nitto's chewed up. As far as offset and blah, blah...These guys carry blanks, so they can customize the wheel offset to your vehicle and the bolt pattern, give Joey a call...
