Had 17" BBS rims on my 1999 9 5 Sportswagon just like the ones in your photo. Then got 16" Borbets. Had terrible shimmy with both between 60-70mph. Just got a great deal on some original 16" that are Saab make and original to the car. No more shimmy. Yeaaaaah! Indy says it was best, most compatible pick. Check for shimmy to see if you have any problems with these wheels. Oh, and yes, I do actually like to buy wheels with fat spokes (though the my latest ones don't have fat spokes). Unless you have ceramic front brakes, it will be a nightmare keeping the brake dust off. It is a lot of cleaning on those BBS spokes in your picture. So keep this in mind, too.
