I agree, but does that one have an airbag? That complicates things a bit, and I'm not real keen on working that up close and personal on one. > BTW - badly work wheel and 77k don't really go together - how sure are > you that the mileage is genuine? Do you have a full set of MOTs with > consistent mileage figures? I have a concern there as well; 77K and a very worn wheel don't make sense to me either. Unless it was a car used for deliveries & short hops, but that'd be 77K _hard_ miles. Something smells fishy. But yes, I'd just either replace the wheel in kind, or maybe see the Saab accessories catalog & see if there's another wheel that fits if you want to upgrade. Some nice walnut & leather ones offered.
