I had bent steel wheels on my 88 900 and was able to replace all four with *Real Saab* alloy wheels for $300 at my local salvage yard. Salvage yards have a book that lets them know the proper wheel for you make and year. BTY I first tried to use the alloy wheels from my 87 900S on my 88 900. Only one year difference, but they would not fit. You may have more difficulty finding the right wheels for your 95 900SE because it is much newer. But call your local salvage yard. These guys perform a valuable recycling service and they can usually get items even if they don't have it on their own shelf.
