Is > this a really bad idea? No, this is definitely not a bad idea fellow ! The most difficult is to find recent ones !! There's no reasonable .. reason indeed why a guy would give away his genuine SAAB (unless he likes "tuning", which is not my case at all) When I bought my 9-3, I hesitated a lot because the pack version did not include more than the steel standards wheels and the previous owner had the crazy idea to buy italian Antera rims (pic available on demand) My example: I exchanged my 17' Antera technical rims vs 16' genuine SAAB rims from a 9-3 cab driver ! From his side, he wanted "other" sport rims, and I must say these actually fit mine ! Of course, don't forget to operate the exchange at a garage, provided that they are equipped with the "must have" equilibrate machine which, even if originally dedicated to tires, will calculate how veiled the offered rims are; Good luck Thibaud Paris, FRANCE ************* 9-3 black varnished - 2 doors - 2 liter turbo - pack -154 HP - LPG- cruise control - Audio system 3 - genuine SAAB sport kit + Alarm
