Opinions on these wheel covers?
So I ordered some black wheel covers recently. Went to put them on the other day and realized how cool the original wheels are when i removed old covers.
I know, I know i should have seen the threads here before about the 5 spoke steel wheels. Lol.
Anyhow should i keep the steel wheel look or use the new wheel covers?

Well the steelies will get dirty and the covers won't show it as much.

Clean and sand the steelies, paint them the color of your choice and clear coat them, and return those hubcaps!!

Those covers don't look bad at all though not my style. I agree on painting the steelies. You can use plastidip so that you can go back to original look anytime you want.

Just my humble opinion, but the black five spoke steelies have been "done to death", so I'd keep the wheel covers.

They're different, and I like 'em.

Thanks guys!
I'll probably keep them. Maybe paint wheels when I have time. I've gotten lots of compliments on the black steelies. Really surprised me.

Hi, did you buy those wheel covers in black or did you paint them? I've tried to find black wheel covers for my 2007 chevy HHR for awhile now and can't seem to find any. Could you tell me where you got those please??
Thank you!

Welcome
Note the date on this thread. It's from 2015. Besides, the OP hasn't been on this site in 4 years so I doubt you'll get a response from him.
