Hi guys!
I've bought them right here in Denmark. The facts about the wheels are: In Italy, a rim-manufactor produces the wheels with different offset and NO HOLES. They are then shipped to Belgium (I believe), where they are precision-drilled for each specific order. This means that they'll fit about any make/model incl. Saab! Mine are actually for Peugout 206 - offset wise, but the drilled to 4x108 mm, to fit the Saab.
I've contacted the company in Belgium about distribution in the States, here's their answer:
"Nice to hear that you are satisfied with your set of wheels. As for the US distributor, we are talking to a number of companies regarding the distribution of our alloy wheels, but for the moment we don't have any fixed network. Sorry.
Best regards,
Eric deBakker-P"
But if you're really interested, they might ship to the States directly, don't know tho'.
Follow the link for their homepage. The wheels I know for sure that fits the 9000 are the Motiv (mine) and the Activ.
Oh yeah, I paid $1500.- for the 4 wheels incl. Yokohama A539 tires.
Cheers!
