Question NW1 Wheels on an HHR? Anyone?

I am wanting some NW1 wheels for my HHR LS.



Like these ^


Anyone have a pic of how it will look? I love the wheels for what they are and have an opportunity to pick some up. If you could reference me to a photo I would greatly appreciate it!!

What do you think? Think the polished NW1 wheels would look good on my silver HHR? A lot of the ones I've found were the graphite type.

The cobalt wheels look great on HHRs, better than the HHR wheels. Except for the SS wheels of course.
Fitment shouldnt be a problem unless you have an SS with brembos.

Even the SS with the Brembo's shouldn't be a problem (that I'm aware of) if he's getting the 18" Balt SS wheels.

They would be 18's. I'm excited but apprehensive at the same time... idk what to do lol. If I lower it, is my power-train warranty voided? Would I need rack spacers?

Were pretty sure that the older style 18" Cobalt Wheels need 5mm spacers to clear the Brembo's but we don't think that is a problem you are questioning! If your thinking of lowering your ride be prepared to be hassiled at the dealership as it just gives them an out to refuse onhering the warranty! Our's is lowered with Eibachs but is the same height as an SS so we could be hassled but to this point we have not had any problems! Rack spacers are recommended if you are going much lower than the height of an SS!

On the subject of SS Cobalt Wheels be patient as they are available for reasonable cost! Here's a picture of our HHR with the wheels we purchased for $150.00 for the set less tires!

Dang... thats a good deal. I may just tell the guy to nevermind. I don't NEEED them and I don't NEED to spend 400 on them.
