Classic hubcap fit?

Wow...those are cool looking. I would venture to guess that you won't find them to fit our stock rims, but would probably have to see if you can find a blank rim they fit and have them drilled to fit the HHR.

I think you can make them work on a HHR wheel. go to view / order parts , then scrol down to hub caps they have pic for most parts. Also ck out Emblems and Trim , hood Ornaments OOH pick years 1947- 1953

More flash than Moon Eyes? Good luck! I have NEVER stopped at a gas station or anywhere else without being approached about the HHR, usually because of the Moon Eyes.
But.. since you want something different. I have the originals like you show above on my 48 Fleetline sedan. Before my wife convinced me about the Moon Eyes, I had the same plan you do. I wanted to find a chrome wheel in 16 or 17 inch that would accept an original 40s hubcap. But the ones I wanted to use were like:
The only difference was that they would have black block letters instead of red. When you look at our truck you can see why I wanted something black instead of colorful.
But I couldn't ask for anything better than the Moon Eyes and they fit perfectly on my stock wheels.
