I saw 95mushroom was running GXP rims on his Aurora. Can anyone tell me anything else about them. I don't know anything else about them. I think they look sweet and would consider getting some. What do you guy think of them, do they work for the Aurora or would something else better suit it. I know you guys are like do what you want but I am just looking for some other opinions.. Thanks everyone! - 95mushroom's Aurora.

I said the exact same thing. Those are the best looking wheels ive seen on a classic.

I like those a lot and wondered what they would look like on a 2nd gen

They look good but there is plenty of aftermarket 5 spoke that look better. It's begging for that 2" drop too. I looked for a while for a good set at a decent price but never came across any that I could justify buying used versus buying new aftermarket. IMO almost anything is better than factory orange juicers .

Those rims are awesome, I love them. I wanted them for mine for the longest time, but could never find a set at a reasonable price. I just like that they look so good and they're OEM.

While I like how they look (and the fact that they're OEM) I have to agree with sall - it looks like it's begging to be lowered... that would make it look insane to me ! The fact they're OEM is a plus to me, but there are plenty of nice 5 spoke rims out there that are similar to this!

The aurora should have came with 5 spoke factory rims in the first place....

I'm gonna see what I can find. First I have to find what I want, figure out what will fit and come up with some extra $$$ lol.. So I believe that's a 18in rim, what size tire do you figure that is?

You can blank them yourself, or just run them. I think it would be kinda cool haha

Everything else was nice with it, I would say it felt maybe a little quicker if not the same as the Aurora though, although it really is only 25 more HP
