I haven't had them on my car since i lowered it and i must say they look sexy as hell on it. Don't mind my dirty ass car haven't had time to clean it up.

 

ya, that does look cool.

 

what tires are on the rims?

 

looks good man...

 

jus the stock pirelli SS/SC tires, i know i know you guys say they have no traction in the snow but i have no problems with them on my car, i used them last year and had 0 problems. I just wanted 18s cuz i hate the look of 16s on my car.

 

i actually like those more on ur car then ur other rims

 

lol someone always says that. i like em both.

 

a little tire black and you would be set

 

did you get the speedo calibrated for the bigger wheel size?

 

yea i literally jus got them on right before the pics.

 

Those gun-metal SS/SC rims look good on the HHR! I have them on my black SS/SC and love them!

 

No its not going to be off by much the 16 inchers were actually right around the same diameter as 18s with lower profile tires cuz the 16s had such a huge sidewall.

 

Seriously rocking those tires in the snow/cold weather?



You and your car are in my prayers.

 

i had figured as much....

 

like i said i had them last year and had no problems, the snow just doesn't get that bad here, every once in a while we will get it hard but normally only once or twice. i drove my I-roc Z Camaro in ******* deep snow for 2 years so its really not to hard with this car, and jusdging by your SN you probably know what I'm talking about.

 

It wasn't the snow that I had the problem with... the tires actually hardened up in the cold. Especially in the salt they use here, my car would slide all over and have NO traction even when it was dry out. It was annoying as hell, lol.

 

yea i know what your saying i will get some winter tires or all season tires soon, just bought a house so prolly wont be till after the new year

 

Damn, the SC rims on the HHR are hot. I wish I could've gotten the black HHR I found while looking for a car.

 

that looks pretty badass with those wheels actually

 

i usually dont like hhr's and i used to not like my stock ss/sc rims, but i think your car looks good with those rims

 

Thanks for the compliments

 

exactly. it's not about the snow even, the wheels themselves harden when it gets cold out. i'm about to take my summers off and put the winters off, because i lose traction at any speed. summer wheels are absolutely horrible in the cold, and especially in the snow. some people try to convince themselves that they will do ok, but every winter there's shitloads of accidents caused and involving people that thought they would be ok.

to the o.p. about the worst thing you can do is use summer tires for winter tires and call it "winterizing".

 

well i'm more less worried about my wheels i don't want to ruin my wheels with the salt, when i bought these wheels i had no idea they were summer tires only, as i stated 2 times already, they worked fine for me last year. so I'm not worried about it, so you guys don't really need to bring it up i know about the tires and snow. they will have all seasons on them hopefully next year.

 

if you're going to buy tires, i would recommend dedicated winter tires. all seasons will never be as good as winters.

i know the tires/wheels may be fine in the winter, but if you drove the car with dedicated winter wheels you would never look back. but worry about it next year or whatever, because by that time it will be time for new tires anyways.

the wheels do look great on the car though :

 

winter tires in 18s are so damn expensive though, guess ill just have to go with 16s and sell on of my sets of wheels.
