If you are still under the certified warranty it is covered.

One reason I don't like chrome wheels. My 99 Buick had the chrome delaminated causing leaking tires. Never again with chrome. My HHR has the silverstone painted wheels and I like them.

Same here, but I prefer the Hi-Polished rims.

well they gave me options since they are on a yr back order.
one is after market
two is junk yard specials
three is wait a yr.
four is them buy another hhr and swap the rims to mine.

i'm liking choice one but i can't find torque thrusts ll on application guide for a hhr?
keep in mind i want a timeless look and i'm a hotrod kinda guy. so anything retro
have any ideas???

I've found a tire house in San Bernardino, california that will redrill the Mustang bullits that were shown on here a few weeks back. Once I have them and see how it all goes, I'll post their info and pics. I'm sure if he can do it for the mustang bullits , he can probably do the torq thrust II. I'm supposed to pick them up tomorrow.

You are 100% correct. I personally know of a place that redrills wheels here in Florida and what your are describing is no big deal.
