Same problem, 2001 Aero that I bought with a CPO warranty. I reported the wheels peeling when I still had about 6 months of warranty left, approx. 42K miles at the time. The dealer's service manager, who is not a bad guy, told me that the BBS wheels were NOT covered by the CPO warranty, but that this was a common "wear" problem with those wheels. He suggested I contact Saab USA.
Unfortunately, I think that GM has seriously dumbed-down Sabb USA's customer support. My "rep" seemed to be very young, not particularly well spoken, and completely ignorant of anything having to do with 9-5's. After 2 weeks of back-and-forth, this guy said more or less that it was up to the dealer. Back to square one, and no dice.
FWIW, when I bought the car, the Iris report showed all 4 BBS wheels replaced under original warranty between the time the selling dealer bought the car at auction and the time he put it up for sale as a CPO vehicle.
I have carefully cleaned the wheels every week or so since I've owned the car, and never once ran them in the winter.
If you have any better luck, I'd sure like to hear about it.
