Aero rims have flat spokes and chromed lip, whereas the super aeros' spokes curve down where they mate with the lip.
These are aero rims:

And these are super aero rims:

Both rims are 16x6.5" with a 27mm offset. This can be a bit problematic: they commonly rub in the rear arches because the lower than stock offset pushes them out. (Search "rubbing" "aero" etc. here for info on numerous work-arounds.)
Several companies who supply used, refinished rims to body shops sell super aeros for around $150 each. You can sometimes find them for about the same on Saabnet's Classifieds page.
