hello everyone, this is my first post and im glad i found this site. a little background about my hhr:

Year: 2008

Model: HHR LS
Style / Body: Panel / Van 2D
Engine: 2.2L I4 MPI
Country of Assembly: Mexico

im using it to do auto detailing, and im fixing it up real nice. one thing that is missing is some decent set of rims and tires. i saw a post on my local craigslist and someone is selling chrome hhr 18'' rims, the owner said they belonged to a hhr ss. my question is, can my hhr handle these rims? any help would be great! here's a picture of my hhr

They'll bolt right on, it's an very popular upgrade.

P.S. to the forum!

 

Welcome to the site.

Fwiw. The SS rims are polished aluminum with clearcoat. Not chrome plated.
(the ones in my sig. picture)

 

And see if the person selling them can provide good clear photos, SS rims are easy to "curb" due to the low profile sidewalls on the tires used with them.

 

thanks for the responses fellas! im glad they can match my hhr
i've schedule a meeting with the seller tomorrow in the morning.. what are the things i should look for before purchasing them. perhaps a checklist?

 

How about a free preview.............

 

The normal things when buying used rims. Condition: scratches, curb rash etc. Take a good look at the clearcoat for any hazing or peeling, something like that would be costly to get fixed.
Are the lugnuts, centercaps included? Those are different on the SS rims.
Here's a pic of a clean, almost new rim.

 

sick wheels bro! so if i decide to pull the trigger and purchase these rims, what tire size should i buy next? sorry for all the noob questions.

 

thanks, ill keep everything you said in mind when i go see the rims. the rims look different than the ones you two guys put up. but same chrome finish.

 

They are polished aluminum, so do they look like these but chrome.

I like 235x45 best but, 245x40 and some 255x40 fit fine. Or you can do what Chevy did 225x45.
