If you have
it in the shop for any reason which requires a wheel to come off you should be directly involved so you
don't have your wheel studs damaged. (It happened to me on one front and one rear stud at a dealership)
I ended up fixing it myself and the front studs are extremely labour intense.View AttachmentView Attachment

Happened to me too, they don't seem to know that you shouldn't start a lug nut with an impact wrench...idiots

Or it could be where I stay is uneven ground and when I crank the car up the level control comes on every time. It looks like that out in the yard but I'll pay more attention to it when I leave the house to see if it's still sitting at the same level.

2G 3.5L = 16" Wheel
2G 4.0L = 17" Wheel

Yeah there's no way it could have a 16.5" wheel. Look on your tire, somewhere on the outside it will say "P235 60r16" or something of the like. The last two numbers is your wheel diameter.

[glow=red,2,300]2001 Olds Aurora 3.5

Player 717 20" Chrome rims with a DEEP LIP
The tires are 245's. They fit perfect with no rubbing. I paid 1900 for the wheels, tires, and labor.

Whats affected is my miles per gallon, braking, and performance...[/glow]

Exact style rims I was thinking of putting on mine 1 day. Maybe not those. I can do a lot with 1000. 😅

No it does a test run of the comp for a few seconds just to do an Operational check before you start off.  its not a bad Idea to take it off the car and disassemble it clean it and reassemble it and make sure the intake tubes are in good shape.  Mine wasnt working when I got the car and I got under it and did a disassembled and cleaned everything real good.  works perfect now.

OK, some may hate what I did and some will like it. I am open to compliments as well as criticism. In MY opinion, the Aurora N94 chrome wheel option is one of the most beatifully designed wheels ever made. I've had them on all of my other Auroras and thought they would look really nice on my Final 500. SO, I waxed up the original wheels and put them in storage and installed a nice set of the N94 chrome wheels along with the Final 500 center caps from an Intrigue. I myself like it. It can easily be switched back at any time. Opinions please!

Looks good!

[Paulaurora]

Yes they do look good I do love chrome wheels on Auroras as well. However once they start pealing etc its nightmare you cant even balance them correctly .. I switched backswords on my 2003 from Chrome to reg . Car rides much better balancing is perfect.

Would anyone have a very nice 17" N94 chrome wheel for sale? I would like to replace one of my rims.

I think you should post this on Marketplace section

[ljhermsen]

You are probably correct Paul. I know this is probably not the best place to ask for a wheel, but I along with many others rarely visit all the other marketplace sites, etc. Many of us look forward to the recent threads and posts. That is why I thought it would get some quick attention here. Far too often there is even a rather large lag time in-between threads. This chat site is unfortunately not as readily visited like it used to be.

No one with a nice N94 chrome wheel they'd be willing to sell??
