Hey Guys,
What GM Wheels will fit a 95 Aurora ? I am looking for something in the flavor of chrome. Throw some ideas my way.

A couple of the guys here have Bonneville wheels, and a lot of Caddy wheels will fit too.
Personally I like the original optional classic wheels in chrome.

Scottydl has 16" chrome torque stars from his deceased Bonneville, I have 17" 2000+ Bonneville SSEi rims on my car, and I have seen (on the road around here) a white Classic Aurora on alloy Intrique rims (yuck!) Essentially any 16" or 17" OE rim from the General will work, the bolt pattern is 5x115. Here are my kickers  |

I like the wheels from the Oldsmobile LSS better than the OE's from my Aurora. I would get them dipped in chrome, if your looking for chrome, and they also have the same bolt pattern of 5X115. Here is a picture of the LSS[/b].  Peace. |

And for the heck of it, here's a new-style Aurora with some American Racing wheels:  |

I like the wheels from the Oldsmobile LSS better than the OE's from my Aurora. I think maybe because it has one fewer spokes? That makes it look more open. I agree it does look a bit better, though that drum brake has got to go...  |

The chrome 17's on the classic look pretty good, and interestingly enough, that white 2nd gen has AURORA on the door? Custom?
Never seen that from the factory.

See my sig pic.  I agree, those 2nd-gen chromes do look GREAT on the Classic pictured above! FWIW, I was at a tire shop on Saturday getting my stock rims dismounted from their tires, and the shop owner told me he has a set of OEM Classic chrome wheels for sale. If you're interested TX (or anyone else), PM me and I can see how much he is asking. |
