Am I the only one who doesn't like the 2008 wheels? I know they're carryover wheels from the 2007 special edition, but the Aero ones have spokes that are too curvaceous and intricate and they all don't go to the edge of the rim so the wheels look small. The 2.0 T ones are downright unflattering, remind me of the 2000 9-3 10-spoke wheels. I don't like way these also don't reach the edge of the rim, and I hate cleaning brake dusts from so many spokes. Ten spokes on my 2004 9-3 Linear were bad enough.
I do like the split 5-spokes from 2003-2004 and the ones that came out in 2007, but still, that's a lot of spokes.
The website people exaggerate the sizes of the wheels on saabusa so don't use that as a gage.
I keep hoping for a 3-spoke revival but it never happens.
