I have a 1989 9000S that I purchased here in Germany from the original owner, it a US version SAAB 9000. He ordered it directly from the factory in Sweeden with the body kit on it. It has the front and rear spoiler, side skirts with the flares on the wheel wells and rear wingon the hatchback and the color is SANDSTONE. I am trying to find a set of AERO wheels or Super AERO wheels for my car or order a set of aftermarket wheels. My question is which AERO wheels will fit my 9000? What other year and model SAAB 9000's AERO wheels will fit my car? I have a 6jx15, 4 x 108 lug pattern, and 33 ET offset currently on my car. I saw a good deal on the net for some aftermarket wheels, the specs on them were 15x7, 4 x 108 lug pattern also, but the offset was .25, and the guy basically told me the only way to be sure if the wheel fit was that it would have to be mounted. That's not possible because I am here in Germany. I also can't believe that parts over here cost mors than they do stateside for this car. I ordered the rear muffler, plugs and wires, cap and rotor, air and fuel filter from SAAB PARTS DIRECT for $145.00 and $20 for shipping. I priced the rear muffler at 3 locations including a authorized SAAB repair shop and the cheapest place just for the rear muffler was about 212 EURO basically $210-$215.00 dollars just for that part, that's ridiculous! When I received my parts that I had ordered, I noticed that several parts were BOSCH parts IMPORTED from STUGGART GERMANY and I don't understand that one, because I priced several of the items that I ordered at a BOSCH dealer here in Heidelberg. Now I just go online when I need something for my car. Sorry I got off track, but if anyone can give me some information about what AERO wheels from other 9000's which will fit my car it will be greatly appreciated, or what other offsets will fit for aftermarket wheels. I was told that the SPG wheels from the 900 will not fit on the 9000 and that it is a 5.5x15 inch wheel. If anyone needs something from my end, email me and we'll go from there, thanks.
