New wheels, lot of Vibration
Did they torque them using a torque wrench, or just air-impact the crap out of them? HHR rotors are very sensitive to over-tightening.
Get a torque wrench and socket, loosen the lugs and retighten to spec,(100 lb/ft) then see if vibration goes away.

I took the wheels to a rustic tire place and they ran them with the weights on a wheel balancing machine. They were off Balance. Got new weights on them and problem fixed. Now Im getting vibration because having them like that for a while (like 3 or 4 months) messed up one of the rear shocks. Checking out this weekend for prices. I am doing all my parts buyng and work in LAredo. Always cheaper and good quality work close to the border.
Fwiw. Running out of balance tires for an extended number of miles, can possibly damage the tires. Cupping of the tire tread can occur.
Balancing them may not entirely smooth out the ride if the tires are damaged or cupped.

My chevy Colorado had the same problem, the factory rims are hub centric. I had them lug balance them and never had a problem, I don't use the rings and haven't had a problem since. Ask them to lug balance them.
