Hey everyone-
I realize that this is a rare wheels to be had on the Viggen. I know that my ride quality will be greatly reduced (as far as feeling every bump in the road)... but here's my situation:
I originally wanted to go with the O.Z. Superleggera III in the 18x8. I read on O.Z.'s website that these wheels could be custom made. However, after talking with an O.Z. rep, I found out that they only can be customized in the 19" diameter. Therefore, my only choice for the Viggen would be the 19x8 size (with Saab spec bolt pattern and offset).
I greatly want to avoid the "ricer" look and thought that the 18" was a good compromise... a little bigger than 17's, but not too flashy.... But 19's??? I just don't know. The Superleggera III is a great wheel, very strong and weighing in at only 23 lbs for the 19x8 pattern. I have looked at the wheel on the tirerack on an Audi S4, and it did not look THAT obtrusive! Also, I would imagine that the dark gray color would reduce the "flashiness."
What do you all think? I know some of you will think I am crazy for wanting to go this high, but I have been having a terrible time finding a nice wheel in the Saab spec bolt pattern that I like. Since these can be customized for the Viggen (according to O.Z.), they are an option that I'm considering. I guess I just need some guidance/opinions here!
Does anyone out there have 19's on their Viggen or 9-3? Here is the link to the wheels in question:

Thanks in advance for all of your help!!
