Since the caddy uses the exact same hubs I think they would fit haha, also they seem to be the exact size and width as the 'rora's rims

Well I did the deal and got the tires and wheels. Bolted right up...could use some chrome lug nuts though. Wondering if I could find an Olds round disc sticker to cover the "STS" on the center of the wheel. The car is dirty and the chrome wheels could use some polishing. But here is how they look. Again thanks for the help guys! Tom 95 Aurora 68 442 70 F85

if you want a pic in the thread from photobucket, just highlight the IMG code, and copy on the post. and by the way, they look good on your 95

Thanks all! That's me! a real trendsetter! I was thinking about getting some summer rubber for my Aurora rims...but I am really liking the STS wheels...Some chrome lug nuts are in order since my nuts are showing on these rims My old 98 Aurora had the chrome Aurora wheels and I had the slow leak issue from the corrosion in the bead area...Hope the STS chromies don't do this too!

I thought about picking up a set for my aurora when I was looking for rims, these seem to pop up everywhere for not that bad a price (all the people throwing 20's on cadillacs I assume haha)

There's a bronzemist STS here at work with those wheels that I like to look at. I like them but I wish I could get a six spoke version.

Was there ever a 6-spoke STS wheel? I believe all the ones I've seen are 7, including those that came stock on the 2003 Aurora Final 500 models. Classic Aurora's had the 6-spoke rounded, Olds LSS had the 5-spoke rounded. But every so often there is a rare stock wheel out there that doesn't show up as often.

DTS and STS wheels are different designs, DTS from 2008 are 9-spoke but would probably look pretty good on an Aurora. $200 is a good price for any complete set of chrome wheels, check them out first and make sure there is no pitting on the back side or substantial peeling on the front side.

The dts wheels are not chrome but aluminum finish. They are a friend's.

I believe the DTS wheels would fit on an Aurora and have the proper offset. Whether they'd look good is a different story, but they ought to fit. If they are a friends, check the stamping on the back of the spokes, the offset should be in the +50mm range.
They might be 18" wheels, which will make tires more expensive.

Put the dts rims on and totally love it now. I thought the stock rims were so ugly. I now to list them on craigslist.
