What types of hubcaps are available for a Chevrolet HHR?

When you consider what types of hubcaps to select for your HHR, its important to have a basic understanding between steel and alloy wheels. Steel wheels are made of a heavy steel center cylinder that gives the tire its form. These are heavier due to their solid steel construction, but they tend to provide better traction in inclement weather. They typically arent styled for appearance, but function, so wheel covers of different types are used to provide a more finished appearance.

Alloy wheels are made up of many different metals, the most common being aluminum and are typically lighter than steel, providing better handling on dry roads as well as a better fuel economy. These are the wheels you can "see through" right to the brakes as they are designed to be more open, and do not need a cover. In each main type of wheel, there are different subgroups to choose from based on your individual preferences.
