Are you sure you do not want to use a 'life line' and 'call a friend'?

Add another 'both'

Being an owner of SS wheels on an LT, I love the split spokes. They're different. However 5 spoke wheels just rock. Id keep em both, sport the SS until too many LS/LT owners get them and switch - or do the winter/summer switch up. Your car is really sharp, I want to see it in person and hope to make the G2G when you guys are down.

Thanks for you honest thoughts about the SS wheels. Ben was actually thinking of doing the switching Winter/Summer thing also but still up in the air. We diffinitely are going to keep both sets however.

We love the look of the SS wheel as it closely resembles Ben's Boyd Coddington Shadow wheels on his S10 !!








We hope to meet you and your HHR at the G2G/Ruby's.

We may now have to have a poll on which wheels to have on for the G2G/Ruby's.

I say go with the Solstice 18's. You've got very clean lines on the HHR and especially in that color which makes the car 'pop'. The Soltice wheels IMHO give your car an "old school" look while the SS wheels though they look sexy, make it look like any other HHR that slaps on SS wheels for the modern look. I like both, but I have to go against the grain and choose the Solstice wheels that overall make your ride look really nice and clean which I'm a BIG fan of. Good job and sexy ride either way!

I like the SS wheels better, they look bigger than they actually are. Solstice ones are nice, but the SS ones are what I would put on my LT. Just my 2 cents.

I like both the SS wheels and the Solstice wheels(I have Solstice wheels on my HHR). If I would have came acroos a set of SS wheels when I was shopping around I would have went with them, but I couldnt find any for sale at the time so I bought my Solstice wheels. Either set look cool!

Between the the two wheels, I have to say the SS wheels are a better look.
The Soltice wheels altho nice, makes the SS look like a regular HHR. You asked, and I replied. "Moon"

Just my opinion, but I liked the SS wheels right from the start, because they always reminded me of the split spoke style on the Corvette Z06.

Ok, tried the lifeline but stayed with my original decision on the SS wheels, unless these were in the running.



See you on the 24th

Ben says he couldnt agree with you more.

We actually got incredibly lucky finding both sets of wheels/tires at a great price too. (both sets = less then the cost of one custom wheel set.)
