Saab OEM Wheel Covers & Tire Rack Steel Wheels Posted by MI-Roger [Email] (#882) [Profile/Gallery] (more from MI-Roger) on Sat, 13 Nov 2004 05:52:07 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Just a quick confirmation to anyone else using steel wheels with their winter tires, that Saab's OEM wheel covers (plastic NG900 style) will fit properly on Tire Rack's 15-inch steel wheels.
I purchased a set a used OEM covers from site sponsor "State Of Nine" just last week. The covers arrived shiny and clean looking almost like new! From examining the covers it is apparent that Saab aligns the valve stem on their wheels exactly in line with one of the five lug holes. I was nervous that Tire Rack's supplier might not do the same, but a quick check of two rims shows these after market wheels are made with this same datum.
I will be mounting my Snow tires on Monday. No more cheesy aftermarket covers! Not only do these say SAAB in the center, but I don't have to remove them from the wheels to access the lug bolts for tire rotations and the like.
Thanks again to "State of Nine".
