"I would LOVE to know if these fit the 16" 5 spoke steelies."

Me too!

Like the 5 spoke steel wheels on my '10 panel...

Buckster doesn't seem to visit much..

Anyhow I have set of stainless trim-rings from Coker Tires on my Harley Servi-Car (Trike)..
It has 16" skinny rims in back. They fit fine.

Dust Cap

I've got an '89 Cavalier with small pentagonal dust caps. I'll go see if they might fit...

Looks like they might... They sitck out about 1 1/2", have a red ring (3/16") around a black background, with a silver Chevy bowtie in the center. Attaching 'em might be a PIA, though...

I'll check it out farther...

Trim rings;

I get here now and then, work takes me away from my home and computer. I am lucky to be still working, so no complaints. I'll be away for another 2 weeks starting Monday. It's not a lack of intrust folks.
Tucsondivots, I did not paint the stock wheels. Over time the black paint will dull, I just clean them up, and wax the wheels. makes em look good again for another 6 months.
As far as size available, the place I got mine had trim rings for all different size wheels.
I like the trim rings cause they were a great improvement in looks over the stock wheel covers for a small investment, and little effort. I look at other HHR's and have not seen them on any others, makes mine some what unique! I like that too.

I have not addressed the center caps yet. I have looked at dust caps at the auto parts stores, and will one day measure what size will fit, and buy a set. Paint them black, let them sit a wile, then tap them on with a rubber mallet.
The lug nuts are stock, and look ok from a distance, but the thread to accommodate the stock wheel covers on the lugs up close kind of sucks, so a set of after market lugs would look better.
