OEM rims stronger...... Posted by Mike Lynch [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Saab alloy rims--are some designs stronger?, bbecker, Tue, 3 Aug 2004 11:37:37 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I've seen it where BBS rims from the automobile manufaturer are quite a bit more robust than the same wheel from BBS on the aftermarket.
The one Saab factory wheel that isn't very strong are the factory Viggen rims, they seem to be quite soft. The other factory Saab 17" wheels are very strong, double three spokes on 9-3SEs and 2004 9-5 sport package Arcs. 9-5 Aero rims seem very sturdy.
In general aftermarket wheel seem much easier to bend and wobble than an OEM rim. The finish on OEM wheels seems tougher too.
