I believe you can get the steel wheels in 16" size new for $125 list each. So, used alloys or aftermarket alloys are cheaper. I would say Tire rack were correct in recommending 215/55/16 size snow tires to you, but they should have explained to you that that size tire would not fit your 17" rims. I'd call them and complain and see if you can get a deal on a set of 16" alloys from them to make up for the inconvenience. I bought a used set of the 16" Fox Sport 2 alloys for my wife's 9-5, and they fit great, but they had already been on a 9-5. I have heard of fitment issues with them. The risk with used alloys is one or more may be bent and need straightening ($50-150 depending on who does it). Figure it will cost $400 +/- for a good set of 16" alloys, either used SAAB or new aftermarket. Any 16" alloy wheel from a SAAB 900 1994-98, 9-3 or 9-5 from 1999-2006 will fit your car. Also, 16" wheels from the Cadillac Catera and the Saturn LS will fit correctly. Try your local Want Ad type publication or local internet classifieds - it will be about $100 to ship 4 wheels, so buying locally will save that.
