20" Thoughts? $200 with good tires locally. Only 1.5% diameter difference which equates to 1.55% too fast or 60.0mph when going 60mph.

They don't look too bad, but they're really not my style. But for only $200 with good tires you can't really go wrong, you could resell them for at least that if you didn't end up liking them after a couple weeks. Are they balanced at all? Any bent rims or road rash?

From the seller... "They need polished" I asked about being bent if they balance properly. I will meet at atire place and see if they balance properly. If they won;t meet me there then I know it is bunk.

IMO, I don't like big rims on cars that not came with OEM. But that's my opinion. Besides that, 200$ for 20's, with tires, is a big fu**** deal if they are straight, like said before.
Even if you don't like them once installed on your car, they'll be easy to resold without loosing any money..

Can't say I'm a fan of those, but I would probably buy them and make a quick $100 at least I'd say

i really dont like the style of them. they just dont fit the aurora for me. also i think 20s are too big. i really think the max size would be 18. its your money, your car. if you really like them, 200 is a steal.

I'm not really into trying to flip them. Too many BSers on CL. I am looking at them tomorrow, but not expecting much! I'm not really in the market for wheels as I have two sets(juicers/2G wheels) both with newer tires with low miles on each set. For the price though and if they are in good condition and balance properly I will pull the trigger.

Well, I looked at them early this morning. No go. One would not balance. One had had huge scratch that definitely wouldn't polish out, one center cap was held on with doubled sided tape and two of the tires were actually bad(very little tread)! Another craigslist folly lol. I am half tempted to post an ad on CL linking that ad to say not to buy them... glad I didn't need to travel to look at them more than ten miles haha. And out of no money because one of my buddies works at the tire shop.

No 20's on Auroras (sorry Javi if you're reading this ) ... too big for the car. I've seen some mighty nice looking 18's over the years though, if you're tires of the stocks or need to replace them for some other reason.

Thats the biggest i'd go if i was shopping for rims. The Aurora has a wide area of variety with customization IMO.

Haha no I have good tires on Classic Juicers and new tires on 2G 17" alloys. Not even in the market bnut for that price I couldn't pass up, but I did for other reasons. I can't justify $1500 or more new to ruin the ride quality I have worked hard to achieve that I like in comfort and performance aspects. If I can get bigger for less than say five bills, I'd do it 3 months outta the year though.

LOL sall you're calling 2G wheels juicers but the classics had the juicers because they look like the things you use to shred a lemon/lime, etc. those wheels kind of have the maltese cross thing going for them which i like....go figure CL is often worthless.

I never called the 2nd Gen rims juicers? I called the Classic wheel juicers. I said I have a set of each. Classic juicers and 2nd Gen 17" Alloys.

At first I didn't really like the rims, but they do have a bubble face and a chrome lip :)I think they would look decent, but with how bold faced they were, they are more of a truck rim to tell you the truth.
As for rim size, I figured go big or go home to tell you the truth. I mean rims really make a car stand out and if you go with 16's, their just not big enough and if you go 22's on the other hand you lose the accuracy of the speedometer, but twenty's are actually pretty nice.
People always wonder about ride quality and ive gotta say there is a difference. It's not like driving a 4x4 by any means, but it can be felt when you hit a big pot hole. I've always watched were I'm driving though, so it's never been a really big deal for me, plus when I first put my rims on, my passengers didn't notice a difference in ride quality, or that I had the rims it till later in the day.

Yeah they were bunk anyways. I am contemplating on buying these American Racing Casino rims. I am in absolutely no hurry though or in need. And something may come up before I get the chance. Not expecting before spring 2013

I lucked out on mine, I looked up the tire size on cr and found these for 850 with newer tires. Good luck and just keep looking, times are tight and the deals are out there.

20's fit the auroras perfectly!!! like 96autobahn said go big or go home! 20s fit with comfort on auroras, and the caddies. 22s are pushing it a bit, but you still could get away with them not rubbing.

Yep like u said 22s are close. They didnt rub on my last aurora when i had mine on. Just a little too big though
