What I am looking for is performance aspects. And as far as BBS goes, IMHO, they have been bringing looks and performance together for a long time! I remember back to early 90's Jettas. Golf's and GT's...the popular Eurosports of 15 and 20 years ago. And it brings a sense of satisfaction that I don't count El Saabo's amongst them...they've always occupied a more special place in my book.
And I like the look of the Saab wheels, and eventual evolution to Super Aero's, etc...but I've always wondered about a set of BBS on a tricked out 900! I would probably have two sets...the BBS's and a set of 9k Supers if I can eventually find them...BBS's will have the unfortunate effect of pulling the Saab down to other Eurosports aesthetic levels...make it slightly more common looking maybe...but the Aero's will help maintain its independence from the rest...we will see...
The project will probably shoot for nearly 300bhp.
I would lean in direction of what has been used in the past for VW applications...classic design, light, 1 or 2 piece construction. Like LM's or something from their Classic Line.

Hit "road wheels" link, and find the link for "descriptions & photos".
If SPG springs drop it that much, I have to wonder right with you what 1.6" or 40mm's will do! I better add a skid plate to the list...
Thanks for your thoughts!!
