New Wheels and Tires?

This would require a 4 hour drive for me, perhaps worth it?

They could be made black.......

I have the polished 17's and would miss "that look" if I had these. (I also have Black with the chrome package.) But I don't think it would look "weird", I see more "silver looking" rims than polished or chrome on the local HHR's (some 16's both caps and rims, some 17's) so it's more common to me.....

The ones in the link look a little different than a base aluminum rim, are they coated, or is it just the way it photographed? They almost look body color on that car like they're painted.

They will probably look fine and as I said, most of the HHR's local to me have that rim with the chrome elsewhere.

I'm surprised you can't find anything more local, I grew up in Syracuse (haven't been back in a long time) It's a big city, seems there would be something similar without the drive.
