SS/TC rims on my 1LT

Thanks to forum member 2007HHRLT , I was able to get a set of 17" optional HHR wheel at a VERY reasonable price. I took my time with finding the extras, but finally got a new set of TPMS, after market chrome center caps, American Racing chrome lugs/locking nuts, and Continental Extreme Contact DW. My plan is to use these in the summer, then switch to the stock rims (equipped with exteme contact DWS) in the winter...Would hate to see what a brutal PA winter would do to these! This is my 3rd mod to the HHR (Black Chrome grill, Steering wheel radio controls).

Those look nice. I'd suggest maybe a little paint on those calipers.

Thanks! After putting them on, I realized the calipers show and they're nasty looking. Looking to paint them red since the car has a red and silver stripe.

Those look good, but they are not the Cobalt SS/TC rims. The SS/TC wheels are also 18" and not chromed. Those are actually an optional HHR wheel. You don't see very many of them. They are a rare fine.

A very expensive option if I remember correctly. I've only seen a couple posted on here.

I bet it was. I was going to order them from GMPartsgiant and they wanted 375 a wheel without tires, center caps, or TPMS. This set cost less than 1 wheel from GM

Yes, I finally found all the extra parts. I wasn't in a big rush and got one piece at a time. I cannot thank you enough, they look just as I imagined!
