My '96 9000 Aero has a 4-bolt pattern, and the last CSE to roll of the assembly line had the "exposed lug Super Aero"-type rims with, yet again, a four-bolt pattern. I have seen a picture of this car in Saab Soundings magazine. See this web page for a picture of these wheels: http://users.cwnet.com/ralimi/aero/98cse.html. Your original post that '95 and later 9000s had the five bolt pattern is obviously not correct, and I still contend that Saab *never* made a 9000 with a 5-bolt lug pattern. -Doug
