    Hey Mike, look again.

    Better but not good enough to personally prefer it to the aluminum.

      I'd like to find (still looking) some 17 or 18 inch wheels in the Aurora style but with a deeper dish where the spokes meet the rim.
  • HenryHenry Member Posts: 1,106
    I was going to get the chrome 2K1 wheels for my Classic. Then someone posted a picture in the gallery that showed a champain/beige classic with the 2K1 aluminum rims. I now have them sitting in my place waiting to be mounted on the car. Thank you ebay. So I guess my vote is for the brushed metal.

    Especially using your clean ride to see how the FON wheels work on a Classic. If the link works (let me know if it doesn't someone) I may try with a champagne color Aurora.

    It's cool you can use my Aurora for a model.

    I did see that photoshop you made, I would have to see them wheels, closer to get a nice look at them.

    here's a updated pic, got the eibach drop kit on, rims are 18x8's, the drop makes them look bigger than they used to.

    i love the way it looks with the drop, best mod so far

    where'd you get your coil springs? i want some for my aurora with 18"s.
  • rjk813rjk813 Member Posts: 4
    i'm looking for coil springs or any other way of lowering my aurora. If anybody ever see any up for sale hit me up on here. The rsm springs are up to $600. That just shows the business trying to make up for a lack of demand. :(

    I believe he just happened to find them at a tuning place online that had them collecting dust in the back of the shop.

    That would be my best suggestion. Do some googling, then call the places that you find and cross your fingers.
  • mrdubyamrdubya Member Posts: 200
    i got them from a guy off gmforums. com which is now gone...i got them used. they've been disco'd for 4 years, i tried a ton of places, no one has them because they've always been a special order. but honestly, you dont want them. it looked great, but it rode like crap. it was extremely stiff and harsh.

    ive lowered my new car, 2001 alero gls, with a 1.75" kit, kyb's all the way around. its no where near as stiff or bouncy as the aurora. i think this is part of the reason they discontinued the eibach kit.

    The second one I saw, it's like 15 min. from my parent's house. Figures it be here in Heaven's waiting room.

     

    I've never seen the 4th pic. Think that is best aurora's I've ever seen. Dunno if the glass-roof is real but the car is stunning. The platimun paint, chrome wheels and exhaust tips, and unique rear deck. Definetly would have paid the premium for it.

     

    And the last pic makes me want to put a round in someone....

    I purchased a 1995 Aurora for my father four yrs ago. He probably put 3K miles on it during that time. It is in excellent shape. He no longer wants to drive, so I have assumed custody of this lovely machine. It caused me to sell my Jag several wks. ago. After seeing the pic of the Aurora with the panoramic roof, I want to upgrade. Do you have anymore information concerning this vehicle or the persons responsible for the customizing work? I would appreciate any info you may have.
  • hammen2hammen2 Member Posts: 1,284
    IIRC the panoramic roof Aurora was shown at the Los Angeles Auto Show in January 1995 or 1996. Olds was responsible for its creation - I don't know who did the work. I am sure it would cost a pretty penny to duplicate.

    I think there were more pics on Zinc's Classic Aurora site:

    Please send Corsa-mod pix... I'm getting their Y-pipe soon to go with my exhaust buildup (can't afford much more at their price)
    (take out the spaces, add "@ and .", etc.)

    Hmm, no front plate in New Jersey. How do you manage that?

    Most likely you have a shield that does not show through in the pitures. Something tells me your favorite three letters are F O P.

    Who loves you baby?

    I am thinking of buying a 1999 Aurora with 81,000 miles on it. I currently have a 2004 Pacifica that I hate. How do most of you like your Oldsmobile? This car appears to be in excellent condition and everything in working order. They are asking 7,500 for it. Any suggestions would be great.
