Something I've been wondering...
Did Aleros ever come with drum brakes?
I know the SE Grand Am's got them but did any base Aleros get the drum brakes, or hubcaps/15 inch rims for that matter?
I've always wondered how bare the Alero came in stock form.

Yup the Aleros came with drum brakes and hub caps. My girlfriend's Alero has rear drums and front calipers.
This is what the Alero hub caps look like:

Ouch... Never knew that one. So that would be the equivalent of a SE, a GX right?
See I'm thinking about doing a conversion on mine (I have drums, but don't have caps) but IDK if the rim diameter will clear the caliper.

Yeah the hub caps and drum brakes were standard for the GX models. GL models had drum brakes with optional disc for the 4 banger GLs.
I don't see why they wouldn't clear the calipers. They're 15" in diameter so there should be sufficient room. I also had my car on 15" steelies for winter without any issues as well. Absolute worst case is just buy a used set of Grand Am alloy rims... You could probably find a set around $100 and they would look much nicer.

Damn, Aleros had it better than. Grand Ams, although Grand Am's had fogs standard unlike the Alero, which seems to be an option.
Hmmm You right. I already have alloys though. My next move is 16" rims. The 5 spokes that were available on the 99-02 GT's.
