Where can I buy suitable 16 inch steel wheels? Do you really want to see your beautiful car with 17 inch alloys and summer tires in the back, and 16 inch steel wheels and chains on the front?? Can you say "recipe for disaster"? I recommend a full set of four 16 inch wheels with winter tires. This will retain the fine handling of your car and will allow full braking performance. Saab sells these sets through the dealers, ready to install, for about US$900 in the USA. You really really do not want to drive with mismatched tires.
