HHR Rims On My Cobalt, Thoughts??

Busted one of my 17inch OEM rims hitting the worlds biggest pothole, i was on the highway and was lane locked and couldn't merge. Heres the result...

So seeing as the all my tires are bald, i now needed 4 tires and a rim. Craigslist wins!!
4 rims and tires for $450. Tires have more than half life, i plugged one and balanced them. Got lucky and they all balanced nicely. Power washed them with Aluminum acid, then buffed them with aluminum cleaner. I actually thought that they where the same as my wheels just completely polished aluminum but, they are different. They are growing on me.

What you guys think?

oh yeah, tire sensor is now on lol, i will switch valve stems over when i get new tires, and im selling two of my old rims if anyone wants them.
