Review, I had another thought. Are you going without the TPS sensors on these winter wheels? Is that Tirerack doesnt carry the right TPS for the HHR or is it that the TSP with not fit on their steel wheels? Do you know? Thanks, G.B.

I went without the TPMS sensors.... I think they don't fit the steel wheels, but I'm not 100% sure on that. I'm not that worried about it.

I would like to go without them as well. I will have to look to see if the TPMS has its own fuse. I think there will be an idiot light on the dash if we run without them. If the TPMS does not have its own fuse, then maybe I will use a small piece of electrical tape would cover the light. I am committed now! I just bought a set of used 2006' HHR steel wheels and factory hub caps for $144 shipped off of eBay. I now need to make sure I can still get the Bridgestone Blizzak tires that are on sale. G.B.

There's enough room in the back you could haul around your summer tires to keep the light off

PS... Like my floor jack?

the snow looks smaller. Are they as tall as the stock ones?

They're a LITTLE smaller, not by a whole lot. 25.4" vs 25.9". It looks like a lot because the other one is a bit closer in the pic, plus it's skewed. Speedo will be off by something like 2%.... no biggie.

Thats what you need, for the white stuff. More weight on a small contact surface.
