Hello everyone!
I am new at "mods" (im only 16) but I know that for my 9-5 SE V6, my first major "upgrade" will be to the rims. I am interested in 18" wheels that dont look all ricey and flashy like my friends ricer cars. I still want it to look fast, sleek, and modern. And of course, working at McDonalds puts me at a budget. Is there any wheels that someone would recommend? I tend not to like BBS rims, as they look too busy and the exact opposite of Scandinavian Design.:nono;
I kinda like these...
they are Boss 318 Black Chrome
or maybe these?
these are Tenzo Dc-6 Version 1 Gunmetal Flat (similiar to the Hirsch ones!)
. with my car being black, and plenty more external bits (full Aero treatment) coming soon, I just want the car to look complete.
Another option is to buy a set of 2000-2001 Aero rims and paint them black, mimicing someone elses car on these boards (SRY!). Those rims are too pricey anyway...
The problem comes in when we talk about suspension. I will be moving to NJ in 2 months, and the roads are harsh up there, and this Saab will see snow for the first time (besides in Sweden:lol. I wanted to lower the car to make the wheel well look full and flush. and i was interested in low profile, ultra high performance tires.
So I guess my question is:
What Rims do you recommend
What type of Suspension would I need if I want to lower it?
Will there be rubbing problems (or any other problems when fitting a 18" wheel on)?
THX!!
