Artillery wheels

I have been looking everywhere I can think of to find artillery wheels for my '06 LS but I'm coming up empty. All I find are steel smoothies and rally wheels. Anyone heard or seen artilleries or any other "retro" style wheels available?

I don't think there are any artillery wheels specifically made for the HHR. I do believe some people on here have gotten away with putting 15" wheels on the hhr, so you might be able to find an artillery wheel with a bolt pattern and backspacing acceptable to use on the HHR. Happy hunting. Let me know what you find.

Pete Paulsen, is a very good friend of mine. If you need artillery wheels, or others, give him a call, and he will fix you up. "Moon"

Something tells me that wheel might lose a bit in the translation to FWD.

I picture it ending up looking like these:

No HHR lug pattern nor the offset is for RWD cars with standard offset.

The reason you only can find the Smoothie or Rally is that is all that is offered by them.

Keep in mind when looking for wheels you needs a positive offset wheel which fits most FWD cars or a few RWD cars with a Positive Offset hub.
