I got them inexpensively from eBay. They're noname wheels and were actually made for pre-93 Ford Mustang with 4x108 bolt pattern. They're 17" but look like 18" due to the spokes that extend til the rim edge. The size is 17x7.5 with +21 offset and hyper silver finish. However, they wouldn't fit my car right out of the boxes. I had to enlarge the wheel bores since the Mustang has smaller bore size than Saab. It took me about 1 1/2 hr of careful filing and test fits to make sure they snugly fit the hub (didn't want to go overboard and had to use hub rings later). Also I had to cut the small wheel locator studs off the hubs. The good thing is the wheels are now hubcentric and therefore no spacers and hub rings are needed.
The car is lowered about 40mm by H&R springs. Here's other mods
- SQR ECU
- 3" turbo back exhaust system
- Bilsteins shocks
- Strut tower bar
- SAS rear sway bar
- Other miscellaneous mods eg. open air filter, Apexi BOV, Poly control arm and engine mount bushings.etc.
