Sorry to bust your bubble, but it's not a custom parts kinda car....more like a luxury, family, just keep it clean and running good kinda car. It's heavy, doesn't handle very well, and is adequately powered. Not quick or that fast. A nice exhaust, some rims are available for it, tint the windows if you dare, and there is a tasteful, sculpted wing with built in LED third brake light made for it. That's about it. Which spring are you referring to?

Can you get away with removing your front plate in your area? I pulled mine off a year ago and filled the screw holes with a little paintable caulking, then touch-up paint. No ticket yet. In most states it's a "fix it" ticket anyway. Car looks so much better w/o it, I'd gladly pay the fine.

92droppedx asked about performance parts ..... in particular springs. I assumed It would be nice to put a link to the front aurora page at domestic perfromance. I think I need to start replying with a quote lol

American Racing has a couple of styles very close to those. They may be the same. Hard to tell w/out a close-up.

Be careful when shopping for rims. Watch offset measurement, it's critical on these cars. The dimensions of the factory wheel are unique to this car. Stock is -51mm,-42 is ideal for aftermarket, if you get less than -38 it's going to start stressing out hubs, bearings, driveline parts and affect handling and braking. It seems like there are lots of choices when you go by 5 on 115 lug pattern and width, until you start looking at offsets. Then it's down to three.

Razzi told me that the wheels on that Aurora are one offs from Boyd wheels. That gold car was for the president of oldsmobile, at least thats what they say.

would 5x114.3 fit by chance? i don't think it will, but i'm just checking.

Not without re-drilling the holes to 115 on center. This has to be done precisely and most machine shops won't do it for liability reasons. There is a good chance the center bore will not seat against the rotor face correctly also.
