New Winter Wheels

Big thanks to forum member eirhed for coming through with an awesome price on these for me They are the HHR 1LT 16" wheels with Firetstone Affinity 216-55-16 tires.

I know it may be a little early, but I don't mind saving some milage on the Pirelli's. So I'm rocking winter mode now, complete with a nice layer of dust. Mental note, Must wash the SS, lol

The SS looks funny with that size sidewall. Good winter wheels though. Thank god i got stationed in Charleston, SC! I get to keep my nice wheels on all year long! I remember swapping wheels for the New Hampshire winters though, and it sucked!

I just checked and the 16" steelies are $70.00 each brand new from Chevy! If the aluminum 16's fit then the steelies should have no problems!

Right?

Yeah but don't do that, unless that's w/ tires.

For that price I'd rather go with something like these decent 16's for less than $70 a rim.

just my .02 $70 a piece for steelies is nuts
