New Wheels

Just picked these up for less than $300 for wheels and tires.Here's a before and after pic. Makes it look like a whole new ride.Not the Eagle five spokes I was wanting but definitely make me happy.

Thanks ! Baby steps man, baby steps. The next thing I'm thinking about are the Rally Stripes for the hood and rear hatch with a spoiler. I think it could stand to be lowered a bit also.

Wow, you stole those! Very pricey GM accessory...I think that's why you don't see many out there. Looks great!

The guy that had them just happened to come up to me at a Quick Trip while I was getting fuel and asked me about my HHR.He said he used to have a 2007 panel the same color as mine and still had the wheels but not the HHR.They were pretty oxidized and took about 3 and a half hours with a power ball and lots of elbow grease to get them back to presentable condition but it was worth the effort.

I like the SS rims on her. Looks good. Im glad to see that you put HHR instead of SS on side since its not an SS. Bonus points in my eyes. Personally I'd remove the chicklets. It'd make the car look sleeker, but if you like them its all good. The point of modding your car is to make it your car. But I like!

The chicklets will be coming off this Spring and I didn't want to try to do an SS look-alike.There are alot of silver HHR's here so I had to do something unique to make mine stand out. I also like the fact that I could stay with a HHR wheel so they still had the sensors in them.

Very nice!! Definitely worth every ounce of sweat you put into them!

Wanted those rims from day one, but no dealer had them or could get them at the time.
