Lol, everyone is wanting my wheels. Tire Rack sells them for $115 each...I'm going to sell them for $360 shipped if I decide to get the other wheels. This will save you about $100 from buying new. Any less than that and I'll just box them up and keep them in case I decide later to switch them back. Pickup I'll do them for $275.00...save you a little cash.

I'm with you on the all black thing. The grille and exhaust are pretty much the only thing I have left chrome, so on second thought I'm not sure if a chrome lip is for me. I have this set of motegi sp10 off my vibe 17x7.5 and they only weigh 16.9lbs apiece , some of the lightest you'll find without spending buttloads of cash. What do you all think of these powdercoated black on my black hhr

I'm considering them. I have to check the bolt patterns though. I'm not sure they'll fit without adapters.

WHy not just eliminate the polished lip on the ones you have? Sand, prime and paint.

Actually thought about that joe. I think I'd like a different style and if I can get some of my money back out of them, I'd just assume to let them go to someone that isn't going to modify a nice looking set of wheels. They just aren't for me anymore.

Quick question, are black wheels the new style? I like the way chrome looks on the hhr.
just wondering, the black wheels do look good.I have black spoke steelies and chrome look hub cabs so looks like i have chrome wheels.
Happy HHR_ing

My fake chrome wheel covers looked ok, but after 30k they were already showing discoloring and pitting and scratches. Black does not look right on every color or every vehicle. Mine is black metallic flake and I blacked out all markers and reflectors and emblems, plus I partially debadged her. it's reminiscent of the old hot Rod rat Rod look, which I think suits the hhr since it's based on the old 49 panel. I see some I like with chrome and others that have gone overboard, so I think it's a matter of personal taste. I'm happy with my menacing looking little wagon.
