From my days working at Saturn, the XE's had steel wheels with plastic hub caps. The uplevel XR's had Alloy Wheels.

Honestly, I wouldn't have questioned it except that you can clearly see the front Brake Caliper in that pic...And you can actually look through the front wheel between the bottom two spokes. You can see the light reflection on the floor/turntable behind the wheel, as well as the barrel of the wheel in that picture.

The Wally World link provided above, confirms that the Aura came with Wheel Covers that look just like that though...


IIRC that generation Malibu/Aura used a spoked steel wheel with caps, instead of the more solid design.

I stand corrected... Wink

Just to be consistent, using Wally World as the source for reconditioned OEM Parts, apparently GM did see fit to put 5-Spoke steel wheels on a car w/ hubcaps!
