I like concave, and I don't particularly like mesh style, but I love the CCW style. Everything I have come across that i've liked fitment would be difficult, or they are expensive beyond belief.

Post some of your ideas? or PM them

I love the ES2, but am skeptical because a lot of people have them

I have 3 sets of IRL wheels if anyone is interested, I'm sure shipping will still be a bitch though.

Considering it just cost me like $20 bucks to ship a short antenna, I'd be terrified to even know haha.

Yeah well that's to Canada, I just don't ship there anymore after it cost $55 to ship engine mounts, figures that's where someone wanted me to ship my SS/SC seats, only want $250 but I told him shipping was probably going to be $300+ and it's just not worth it then.

Yup, its a shame. I was going to order from tirerack. Wheel/tire combo for winter was around $900, but the shipping would have been $550. Not going to happen.

How far from the border do you live? Here in Winnipeg area we just get stuff shipped to depots right over the border and drive them back. Most only charge like 10 bucks for each package.

I think Minot is the closest place where a depot is, so about 5 hours if I don't get stopped at the border for a long time.

Not as bad as the 17x10s with 205s. To me a 10 needs at least a 235 tire.

I can dig it! I'm happy to finally have a wheel with decent lip/width. Makes me feel like a big boy

Need some advice about the front end of my wagon...I feel like all the black clashes since I don't have any other black accents on the car. Like the Balts, the HHR's are limited on grill options and even more limited on headlight options. I'm planning to do a set of retros for the headlights but it'll probably be put off until tax season so until then I have two options...keep the black depos or switch back to the chrome stock units. As for the grill, I'm gonna bite the bullet and pickup an SS grill and have it painted. Until then should I just leave the black billet or should I do a polished billet to pull in the lips on the wheels?

Maybe gold accent in the grill to match the wheels or paint the gold parts of the wheels black (leave the polished lips) and use a polished or chrome insert for the grill. I say leave the headlights as they are for now.

I'm kinda leaning toward a polished billet grill. I like the gold in the wheels...going to add a gold powell tow hook and maybe paint the Hella Supertones I have hidden behind the grill a gold color as well.

I was thinking about some gold chains from the rear view...gold pin stripes...maybe a gold evo mod...

Really not wanting to add much gold...just get rid of the black. I was going to add a tow hook anyways so I was thinking maybe a gold one but will probably end up going with silver to match my car. I'll just leave the grill and lights as they are for now.
