Steel wheels
« on: 16 November 2014, 08:42:23 PM »
I've had enough of worrying about keeping my alloys nice! Does anyone supply a 17" steel wheel to fit the 9-5?
How about getting them electroplated/anodised in a colour of your choice?

There are a few 17 inch steel wheels but I couldn't find any with the Saab bolt sizes and dimensions.

Why not go to 16 inch for the winter.  No problem with fitting them to a 9-5.

You're probsbly cheaper getting new alloys off ebay, especially if you're happy with 16". Lots at good prices...

I bought an identical set from Turners Hill Garage (Ebay user thgparts) for £140 (the set, not per wheel) with free carriage about this time last year. Ideal for winter tyres! I then bought a set of 17" for £175 to replace the ratty originals on my Aero, also from thgparts.  Worth looking around.

Vauxhall wheels from times around 2000-2008 will fit (just triple check before ordering!), not sure if they do a 17" steel?
