To be honest I don't see anything on the rim that resembles the car emblem

Olds rocket emblem, not the Aurora A emblem. I like these too. I am pretty much set on a 5 spoke design. Simple is good. 20x8 +40 Offset: I just need to pull the trigger soon lol.

Not my style. The curve on the spoke looks too Porsche-esque for me.

I like them. I like the look of the curves. A 20 inch is too big in my opinion. If it was an 18, I would be all over them.

18 is just about perfect. 20 is just a touch beyond the right size... The Aurora is not a car that was meant to have 20" rims. It can work on SUVs, but not on our cars. Your 96 looks great, Sall. Don't ruin it with huge rims. Maybe some Chrome 2G wheels or custom 18s, but 20s would kill the image.

That being said. The last rims pictured have a similar curve as the 2G 17" rims. Which I have on my '96 now(Alloy). I will not put 17" chromies too many finish adhesion issues. 18" not a big enough jump. 20" look perfect on the car IMO.\(with the right wheel). I still like these the most. Five spoke. Black portion is removable to run all chrome, run them black or color match(likely never do). Match my 'theme' perfectly.

^Those are nice but I swear I see them (or very similar ones) everywhere all the time. I like the "rocket emblem" ones haha. The ones with the twist are pretty sweet too.

I like the ones with the resemblance to the rocket embelm in it the best, its anice clean 5 spoke. 20s are a perfect fit imo(i might be a little biased lol), these are pretty big cars.

I ended up purchasing the ones that look like they have the Olds Rocket emblem in the spokes. I just couldn't pass up the clean 5 spoke look, while also paying homage to Oldsmobile. They are 20x8.5 +45 Offset with 255/35-20 tires. They will stick out 0.6" further than the OEM wheels. Perfectly acceptable we have about 3/4" up front and an inch in the rear to give before sticking out of the fenders. Comparison.. Perfect fit.

Just so you all know I am not full of chit I love 'em. Absolute perfect fit and love the beefier tire looking from the rear of the car. Too bad it started storming just after I wrapped up mounting them.. Not getting wet on the first day mounted. More pictures to come!

Haha I couldn't pass them up! The black ones would have been good too but they didn't have the offset I wanted. Now to track down the damn caliper decals I bought almost a year ago... probably in the landfill.
