Steel wheels will not come with centering rings. Places like tirerack will get it right.
Yes, you can pay perhaps $50 more per wheel from Saab, and they what will you pay for Saab wheel covers? Generic wheel covers will probably not fit Saab wheels. So $200 more for Saab wheels and +$$$ for Saab wheel covers. Alloy wheels are now not unaffordable.
You can get 16" steel wheels for Saabs at tirerack and they have a choice of one 16" wheel cover to choose from. Lots of choices for 15" wheels.
Choice of tire depends on a trade off of snow traction, ice traction, tread life and handling. Many consider the Alpins as a very good balance. For all out snow traction, the Blizzak WS-50s cannot be beat.
Saab often has a very good snow tire allow wheel package. The alloy wheels are are effectively then very low cost.
